Blast from the Past: Good & Plenty Lip Smacker

Lip Smacker – Good and Plenty – bonus vintage Caboodles case!

The vintage Good & Plenty biggy Lip Smacker was yet another iconic brand pairing in smacker history.

If you’re not familiar with them, Good & Plenty’s are a spicy black licorice candy with a hard coating, making it a perfect match for Bonne Bell’s unique line. BB did great with it because its formula still smells strongly like the real thing.good-plenty

While it saw a few different design changes in its day, it always kept a similar scheme to match the candy box. What I like the most is that even though it’s black licorice flavored the balm is pale pink 😀 Too cute!

 

It seems that people either love or hate black licorice. I like it, what about you? Would you buy this flavor if it were available today?

Kool-Aid Lip Smackers

Lip Smacker – Kool-Aid

I love the packaging the Kool-Aid collection has, it’s so happy and bright 🙂  And I especially love when Lip Smacker does anything Grape flavored. There are six flavors (most of which are found in the standard Originals line), and several come in biggy sizes which are quickly proving hard to find. And if you’re a gloss fan, Bonne Bell even made some Kool-Aid liquids which you can find paired off in the duo and trio sets.

Make sure you get your yummy sugar fix before it’s too late!

For the completionists out there, all of the Barbie Lip Smackers are pretty hard to track down…

There’s the set of 5 Barbie smackers from 2008 that are still easy to find online (not so much in stores though)…

…and of course, the individual flavors that came with the actual Barbie & Teresa Birthday dolls in 2007. Everything smells vaguely minty to me, except for Berry and Sugar Celebration, which remind me of yogurt 🙂 My favorite is the biggy, it’s too cute.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were several that I missed, so please leave a comment if you know of any!
