The list is an interesting study of popular culture. For example, several couples (or former couples) have made the list: Daryl Hannah and John F. Kennedy Jr., Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, and Lady Diana and Prince Charles. The last three Presidential couples have also all made the list.
There are quite a few athletes on the list. In fact, Michael Jordan has been named to the list a record three times! Interestingly, tennis seems to be the most popular sport. There are very few pertinent choices on the list. Nancy Kerrigan looks like someone who might have chapped lips due to exposure to cold climates, but where are the skiers or other winter athletes?
Most shocking, however, is the lip balm drug connection! Stars such as John Belushi, Boy George, Don Johnson, Jennifer Capriati, John DeLorean, and Dwight Gooden all made the Blistex list and had then subsequent drug problems. Did lip balm serve as a "gateway" to hard drugs for these stars? What about Belushi's untimely death? Was it a heroin-cocaine speedball or an overdose of Carmex? Unfortunately, we may never know!
Wow, it turns out that lip balm is a gateway to hard drugs, and is addictive!
I suppose we should ban it.
