BTW, I go apeshit w/out chapstick. The blue stick w/15 SPF. I'm addicted. Have been so for years. Apparently my grandfather was the same way.

The hippie herbal medicine crowd here tells me that Chapstick is
literally addictive --- the wax dries out and fuses to your skin, causing it to flake, leading you to think you need to reapply. It's a vicious circle. Oh, and the tingly menthol is a drying agent, too.
The same people tell me Visine has addictive properties --- if you've been using it for years, skipping a day makes you think your eyes are always bloodshot, but if you go off it for a month you'll clear up like a normal person.
