Ahah, I love this late 90’s smackers ad!

Even as a kid I liked these ads because the girls in them felt ultra relatable 😀

I’ve been wanting to post a few older Holiday sets, starting with a very early 90’s collection featuring the original Cherry, Pina Colada, Blueberry, and Bubble Gum.

This little reindeer stocking was sold with many different flavors (e.g. Grape, Watermelon, Luscious Lemon etc.), letting you choose which set you liked the most. I suppose having fewer flavors in general meant they did things a bit different back then 😛

Cute little Christmas-y string:

‘How to Wear’ on the back made me smile. We totally need to bring back the ponytail-smacker:

Just a quick post… who had this delicious set back in the mid-90’s?

They have very accurate formulas and both have kept their strong scent despite pushing two decades old 🙂 Strawberry Chocolate had a lovely red tint that showed up when worn while Raspberry Chocolate has a colorless balm.

They also came with a keyring cap–if anyone has that version we’d love to see a picture!

Cinnamon Sugar

Today I was thinking about Cinnamon Sugar again. I’m still holding out hope that Bonne Bell will bring back this popular mid-90’s Holiday flavor!

The one I have hasn’t held its scent, which is understandable since it is a lighter one to begin with, but it was flawless back in the day.

If it doesn’t make a comeback in the normal smackers line then I would love to see a re-debut in the upcoming holiday collection– actually, I really want a cinnamon stick and wintergreen type flavor again!
