"Testing 1,2,3"

If you refer to my last post, I'm on antibiotics which have made me feel strange and tired--that's why it's been 5 days since my last post. Today I think I slept too much, so I think I'm overtired. Also I'm off pudding, so I may be experiencing withdrawal.

Anyway....
While I was at Walgreen's waiting in line for my prescription, I discovered the most wonderful thing: Chicken Poop Lip Balm. Actually, what's written on the tube is "100% Free Range Chicken Poop Lip Junk." And the next line says "Put put it on your lips." I found this hysterical.

Now, I didn't think that they would actually put chicken poop in it...but just to make sure, I read the ingredients. And it was good stuff: jojoba oil, lavendar and sweet orange essential oil, etc, etc. Reassuringly, the next line on the tube reads "contains no poop"...which just gave me another chuckle. I thought it was a brilliant piece of marketing. Not to mention thoroughly amusing. I had to buy it.

Just in case it was all packaging and no substance, I also bought the Neosporin lip treatment (which I highly recommend in the winter), and I haven't yet had to bust it out. This chicken poop stuff is really good! And it's funny to pull it out of my bag and show it to people. :)

I went to the website tonight--www.ilovechickenpoop.com--and there's a whole line of products coming out! All as cleverly conceptualized as the lip junk. I'm very much looking forward to personal hygiene products with names such as "Kill It Dead Natural Anti-Funk Spray" and "Good Gravey" hair pomade (that one's already out).

Simple pleasures, my friends. Simple pleasures.

Since the publishing of this blog, I've been in touch with Gretchen at Simone Chickenbone, LLC. I let her know that their product was mentioned on my blog...they're keeping track of outside mentions. She clarified a few things about their products, so I'm posting her email below.

Hello Deny,

Glad you love it! Great Blog! The Good Gravey has been reborn as a removable solid lotion in a silver tin, although some have been known to use it as a hair pomade also. Kill It Dead is also now available. It is awesome. thrillist.com featured it recently. They have a link on our "links" page.

Keep spreading the "PooP"! -->(this is why i love them!)
Gretchen
