Every Lip Balm Sends A Message

I did an entry about a “Lip Balm Tub” which struck me as just the right combination of one syllable words with the letter “P” or “B” in it to make fun of.

Recently, I found even more examples of this marketing madness and it’s madness: Who knew that putting your brand on something for chapped lips could change the world as we know it. My favorites:

THE TIN!!

 

Lanyard Lip Balm

THE LANYARD!!

 

Lippy Carabiner

THE CARABINER!!

 

BALM BALLS LIPS

THE BALLS!!!

 

THE VARIETY!!

 

THE ENTIRE COLLECTION

(from Totally Promotional dotcom)

As the great advertiser David Ogilvy once said:

Market to chapped lips and your brand will shine.

Can’t Build Me I’m The Gingerbread House (in a box)!

Can I just eat it and not build it? Eat my house mofo!

Skip the mixing, the rolling pin, the cookie cutter, the oven and the baking and just open the box and EAT the damned crap!

Gingerbread Cottage Cheese!!Yes, nothing goes better with the spicy, sweet flavor of gingerbread than a candy that is so sour it makes you gag and pucker!!

Nerdy Sweet Sour Tart Candy Rotten Teeth Sugar Rush

This sour patch kid looks pissed off because he’s been stuck to the side of a house.

I live in a house sandwiched between two chocolate cookies with cream

Oreo household

Includes Oreo cookies!?! I had NO idea!!!

Ocean Bound Windex

I am misreading it but this seems to be just screaming at me:
“THIS BOTTLE IS HEADED STRAIGHT TO THE GREAT PACIFIC TRASH GYRE!! DON’T YOU WORRY!!!”

Pacific Ocean Windex

The copy on this label has a just a little too much emphasis on the words “Ocean Bound Plastic” which kinda overwhelms the lil’ “bottle made of”
