Some things folks in my age bracket might recognize. If it's not clear, the tube is Kissing Potion lip gloss in cherry. :) Raise your hand if you (or the other person involved) were wearing Kissing Potion when you got your first kiss.

I can only find the Spanish version....

I had never heard of the stuff before reading this.

It is very likely. :)

I think I was more probably wearing Lip Smackers or the balm that came in those sliding tins.

Ooh yeah, the tin of lip balm. I loved those things. I've found similar things from time to time, but none of them have been quite right.

I felt like belting out a chorus of "Meeeeeeeeemoriiieeeeeeess!" when I saw that I can still order this stuff. Of course I had to get some, but I didn't get the classic "bubble gum" flavor. That might be too much. ;)

Haha!

"So this guy in the elevator said, 'Gee, your hair smells terrific,' and I totally slapped him."
"Why?"
"He was only 3 feet tall."

First "real" fragrance most of us owned was Love's Baby Soft. Blue eye shadow, Dittos slacks, Gunne Sax dresses, and Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers were everywhere, and the trashy girls wore wrap-tied wedge-heel espadrilles.

Some of us wept when the '70s tried to come back from the grave. NO! It must die by fire!
