1anonly Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm not sure if a lot you know what Carmex is, or if it's Midwest thing. Anyway Carmex has been made in southeast Wisconsin since 1937. It started in the founder's basement and grew from there. In 1976 they moved their labs from Wauwatosa to Franklin, which is where I have lived pretty my whole live. Pretty cool to have a product like this made in my backyard. http://www.mycarmex.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrVette83 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I used to use it all winter when I was younger. But it seemed over time my lips almost got "addicted" to the stuff. If I went a day or two without it my lips would be chapped worse than ever. Love the stuff though and used to always carry a small can in my pocket.

If I went a day or two without it my lips would be chapped worse than ever. I've heard that on more than one occasion... My buddy uses it ALL year. I never use a thing...

1anonly Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 So I guess they are national. I went to high school with the great grandson of the founder. Needless to say his nickname was Carmex. I'm embarrassed to say that I have never used Carmex. I used to always use Chap-Stick, but lately I have been using Burt's Bees wax.....made in Durham, North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Burt's Bees and had been using it as well. That all changed when my wife found out she was deathly allergic to sunflower seeds. Some BB products have trace amounts of sunflower oil in them. Makes her lips swell up like Jolie's. So I stay away from it now as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This is great, I had never heard of this Carmex before. I guess you do learn something every day! I will have to check it out Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiterp199 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I can't believe we got a group of grown men talking about lip balm. I use chap-stick though. even though I am only ten minutes away from the carmex plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyGo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Love Carmex!!! Used to go to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes annually for their last weekend being open, and would buy a can for the upcoming winter. I guess it would qualify as a tradition as it lasted for 10+ years. Learned the hard way once that if the can got "lost" in my console, the summer heat will melt that stuff and be VERY messy if you open it up.
