I blame it on the hairballs, I chew my hair when I'm nervous, so I must have old hairballs in my stomach.1

I think your biggest danger would be from the Burt's Bees chapstick. It's made form beeswax which will still have traces of honey in it. Honey being sugar will cause an insulin spike and cause your body to hold onto its fat. Even though the quantity is low it is being introduced into your system transdermally so it's an instant shot of sugar to your bloodstream rather than a slower absorption through your digestive tract.

Just read it in Gary Taube's new book. Scary stuff.1 -
one word...
semen.
:huh:
That's in the database though. It's under it's other name "Generic- cum" quantity- 1 squirt. I always log that accurately. It's important to log everything that comes across your lips accurately. This is a different scenario because chap stick mostly stays on your lips. Not really the same thing.1 -
You eat your chap stick? I think you're using it wrong...

OMG i'm DOOMED! i still bite my nails! I'm doomed that's it i'm calling it quits might as well eat a big mac. JK!!!! whopper with cheese. LOL!1 -

You're really doing yourself a disservice. The GMO's they use to grow the corn used in diet lip balm actually cause a much higher insulin dump through transdermal ingestion than does the full sugar stuff.1 -
you would probably expend all those calories applying it to your mouth it would be so insignificant
^^This! The calories consumed by the application of lipgloss or chapstick, although quickly consumed through the skin are far out-weighed by those burned by lean muscle of your arms, lips, neck, back and calves (depending on how much you lean toward the mirror during application). Thus this becomes a NEGATIVE CALORIE FOOD! Yay!1 -

Wow. I couldn't remember where I had seen it but if it was from Taubes then that definitely cements the veracity as far as I'm concerned. No more honey based lip products for me ever.0 -
How many calories are burned through kissing? I read 25, to be exact.0
