Whenever I\u2019m out shopping, I\u2019m always on the lookout for watermelon-related things. Gum, hats, T-shirts, wallpaper, serving dishes\u2026 once you start looking for it, you see watermelon things everywhere. That\u2019s why I\u2019ve created a new monthly entry here on What About Watermelon aptly titled \u201cThings That Taste Like Watermelon.\u201d<\/p>\n
For my first Things That Taste Like Watermelon column, here are some drug store items you might find that have been given the taste of one of America\u2019s favorite fruits. I\u2019m not saying these items taste good or that I\u2019ve even tasted them myself, I\u2019m just saying the package makes the claim that it tastes like watermelon. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
WATERMELON TOOTHPASTE<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks to the good folks at Colgate, the world now has watermelon-flavored toothpaste. Or at least kids do. This is, after all, a children\u2019s toothpaste. We know that because it says so on the package and it tastes like a delicious fruit. Why can\u2019t adult toothpaste taste like delicious fruit? For that matter, why can\u2019t I, as an adult, buy this toothpaste and use it for myself? Other than having to hide when company visited, I don\u2019t see any reason why I can\u2019t!<\/p>\n WATERMELON LIP STUFF<\/span><\/p>\n I call this \u201clip stuff\u201d because I\u2019m not really sure what it is, but I know you\u2019re supposed to put it on your lips. It\u2019s called Lip Smackers and it comes in many flavors, including watermelon. Admittedly, I\u2019m not much a lip stuff kind of guy. I\u2019ll use it from time to time, but it\u2019s only because I found a two-year-old lint-covered tube of it in the pocket of an old winter coat. If I had watermelon-flavored stuff, though, I might use it more often.<\/p>\n WATERMELON PEPTO BISMOL<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s another watermelon-flavored medicine cabinet staple made exclusively for children, but instead of liquid form that this is usually in, this product comes in tablets. Seriously, why can\u2019t they make this for adults? Do they think we like the taste of stuff as it already is? I\u2019m going on a serious letter-writing campaign as soon as I post this entry.<\/p>\n Coming up in next month\u2019s edition of Things That Taste Like Watermelon \u2013 drinks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whenever I\u2019m out shopping, I\u2019m always on the lookout for watermelon-related things.
