Who else remembers using Dr. Pepper lip balm? It's still around (a steal at just $1.60) and soon it will have much more company: The number of food-inspired beauty products is about to swell.
Lotta Luv is a company that creates cosmetics with a junk-food bent. It makes licensed lip balms inspired by foods that would make a dentist blush: Dairy Queen fudge sundaes, Pez, Twinkies, Snapple juice drinks, Twizzlers, Jelly Belly and at least another dozen sweet-tooth staples. WWD reports that a few new products are on the way. Cold Stone Creamery will have sliding-tin balms that will be sold at the ice cream shops nationwide, and a cute, vintagey Hershey's cocoa bath and body collection is in the works.
Okay, I can see the appeal of those items. But I'm scratching my head over a licensing agreement with McDonald's, with products due next year. I'm trying to figure out which McDo menu items could translate into cosmetic products. Most likely it'll be the chocolate shake and apple pie, but who knows? We could see McNugget lip balms or Filet O'Fish body polish. Personally, I don't know if I would trust Ronald to stock my beauty arsenal; that red lipstick never really did flatter him...

Filet o fish body polish... eww!
1I hate smelling like food so this is just disgusting to me. Why on earth would I want to smell like food?????
2HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Filet-O-Fish Body Polish!!!
3Does Jessica Simpson have a similar line like this?
4Chocolate smells never seem right to me, so I'm not sure about this.
5Jessica used to have a Dessert product line, but she's done with that and is working on a fancier fragrance.
I am not a big fan of chocolate body scrubs, to be honest. Even if they smell nice, I look down at the smeary brown goo on my body and think, "This looks like I fought the Poop Monster and lost."
6I will buy those Cold Stone Creamery balms; sounds delicious!lol. Luckily I have Cold Stone nearby,lol.
7LOL, Bellasugar!! "This looks like I fought the poop monster and lost." Hilarious.
8the only mcD's product i can imagine on my body is the mcflurry.
9yummmmmmmmm.
The town of Hershey in PA actually has a spa where the treatments use chocolate/cocoa. I wonder if these products are based in any way on the ones they use in the spa?
10Don't some high end salons offer chocolate facials now?
11I want my quarter pounder lip balm with no pickles no onions!
Really though, the hershey's products interest me! And we've had DQ, Snapple, Twinkie, etc products at stores around me for years. They're ok.
12i'm not really big on things that smell like food...except for things by Jacqua's Bakery (i think i spelled that right). i had this face mask that smelled like pumpkin pie, i totally wanted to eat my own face everytime i used it! i also have a moisturizer by them that smells like vanilla icing...sooo good! i get compliments on the scent all the time. that actually looks like icing too, so it's hard to remember not to eat it!
13This is great.
14i'm hesistant about this idea...i like to smell refreshed. i love dr. pepper lip balm though.
15I agree, chocolate never smells right. I hate the smell of cocoa butter.
16But, I think it's actually a great idea to partner with McDonald's. I don't really like their food, go there maybe once a year. But I'd go buy a happy meal for the lipgloss.
chocolate!! Oh my goodness, this will be AMAZING during the winter!!!!
17Aww Lotta Luv products, i have an addiction to them, i have a huge collection of Lotta Luv lip balms with some junk food flavours, they're great
I adore to Reese's flavoured lip balm...
18ooooo. mcflurry bath products... yum!
