The Lip Smacker novelties have brought us a lot of unexpected flavors, and I have to say, I am pretty impressed by what they’ve put together for the more um, unique stuff 🙂 It’s no surprise really, BB has quite the varied history if you think about it.
BB didn’t hold back on Double Cheeseburger or Sweet Potato Fries either; but no worries, this trio leans more toward diner-style than ‘8 hour shift at a greasy fast food establishment’ 😀
Double Cheeseburger is the smacker I was most curious about, and I can confirm that it’s pretty burger-y indeed. It’s a bit overwhelming and has a strong onion flavor going on. Unsurprisingly it’s not one most people will use, but it’s fun to know it exists.
The Sweet Potato Fries lip balm has a general veggie scent to it, wrapped up in a sweet, almost caramel note. I think some people will like this one as it’s a lot lighter and accessible. A cute spin on the french fry idea.
We’ve had variations on Strawberry Milkshake throughout the years so there’s nothing new to say about that.
I really do like the novelties we’ve seen so far. They’re entertaining and the bold artwork is great.
Is this trio available at target yet?
I can’t say for sure yet since I haven’t seem them in stores. It seems that store releases are lagged slightly behind their web availability, so hopefully soon!
Strawberry Milkshake seems to smell so GOOD! Love the vintage art on these lip smackers!
It’s def a classic!
Ewww I love these gross ones and need them! LOL
I can’t wait to get these! I finally got the Paul Frank ice cream party pack just the other day. It was still in my cart on the old website, so I went ahead and ordered it. I held off for so long because I thought I’d see it at a store, but I never did. Hopefully it won’t take me nearly a year to get the novelty flavors, lol. 🙂
Yay I’m glad you got those, it’s suuuch a good set 🙂 I didn’t see a lot of those in my stores, either, which is weird since PF stuff is usually so plentiful.
Id also like to know if I can purchase this in store! I got the breakfast trio at wegmans.
As soon as I hear anything I will let you know 😀
great review as usual!! i am loving sweet potato fries, steering clear of cheseburger though lol. i just bought it and smelled it and was like ‘nope’! xx
Thanks! And same here, haha.
I am a Lip Smacker fan from way back, but the cheeseburger one sounds plenty of gross
I love all of these novelty flavors and hope they continue them in the long-term future. Although Double Cheeseburger isn’t your every day run-of-the-mill flavor, I love that they did it, and did a great job at replicating it! The onion-y aspect of it doesn’t make me want to wear it too much but it’s great for my collection! I have been using my Maple Bacon quite a bit, though, and am really liking it a lot more than I thought I would! My friend is in love with it! Can’t wait to get my hands on the rest of the novelties! I can see myself stock piling these in the near future because of their uniqueness!
I’m with you there. I’m loving the risk-taking in this collection. Perfect time and execution!
Also meant to add that I’m LOVING the Sweet Potato Fries!!!
Hey bunnycookie,
kinda funny that it has an onion smell, cuz then you would need another one to cover it up! (like a mint one, perhaps? teehee :))
So true! 🙂
Maybe you can wear the cheeseburger one on a blind date where you don’t like the guy. Go to the ladies’ room, apply it, and when he goes to kiss you, he’ll get an oniony taste to the kiss and that takes care of that.
That could work. I wish I wouldv’e had the cheeseburger one years ago; I can remember a few dates I wasn’t interested in during college. LOL :p
Do you know anything about the Cherry 7up flavor? It’s not listed on the smacker site. But so far still can be found in the 3 pack
(+ A&W root beer and Dr. Pepper) How long has it been discontinued? Thanks for any info, D.
Interesting, that might be worth calling and asking about. The smacker site is missing a lot of stuff still so it’s possible it’s just not there.
Bunnycookie, do you know if they’re still going through with their popcorn and s’mores flavors? I saw them on the Lip Smacker site a few months ago, but I didn’t know if they’re up for sale now. I liked the new design of them. Didn’t they have a kettle corn and soft pretzel Lip Smackers too?
It seems like they’re doing a soft release right now, but I don’t have any concrete info about anything. Awhile back I was told that the novelties would be released throughout spring, so here’s to hoping 🙂
I got the Dr. Pepper, A&W Root Beer, and Cherry 7up trio at Kroger recently. If you have one nearby, I recommend taking a look. I used to be able to get older and discontinued Lip Smackers at the Boyd’s Drug Store.
Thanks for the great store info btw
You’re welcome! I couldn’t find the breakfast trio when I went to Target yesterday. Same with the new biggy trio.
I know the the cheeseburger one is going to smell odd, but I kind of still want it! lol I could wear it around the house when I’m alone. Its hard for me to find these, so I may check ULTA before deciding to buy all of the novelty ones and a few others online at the Smackers store. I have been a fan since I was 4 years old and my mom bought me my first one which was wild raspberry. 🙂
OMG I recently got the cheeseburger one and its too weird for me to wear, but its a fun addition to my collection, either way. :p
