My daughter has a tube of Dasani water flavored lip balm. Talk about a strange example of branding!

Ewww. What’s the Dasani water lip balm like? Does the Cheetos balm leave you with orange lips? If so, might as well eat the real thing.

I have a Reeces flavored lip balm..Doesn’t have that much of a taste, but it does give you a light brown lip color..

Dasani flavored lip balm? Maybe there is a market for my “Dehydrated Water”. Add 1 gallon of water to 1 pouch & it makes 1 gallon of water.

Get Real – you have no idea how close to the mark you are. I had some very long meetings with people at the locally based company that makes their version of your dehydrated water beverage. The bottle states “minerals added for flavor” (which would be your pouch). Upon learning how long the meeting would be, employees of said company, advised us all not to drink the bottled water as the “flavor enhancers” act as a diuretic and the resultant trips to the lavatory that would result would slow things down.
resevoirDAWG – what, you recognized him as your boss?

Couldn’t turn it down rD. As a native I have known many UGA fans. A few even went there. (Like half my family)

Tried the Dasani lip balm. Can’t remember the taste…but I do love the smell of lip balm in the morning…

Mr. Kessler,
Since you have sent me on so many excellent food adventures over the years, I will direct you to one of the funniest food things I have ever seen. There are some expletives used, so Cox probably won’t let you go there. It is a collection of 1974 Weight Watcher recipe cards with commentary. Painfully funny.
