Editor's Notes

  1. We then reinforce this behavior using facebook. We tag our users in funny, photoshopped images of lipbalm and gum. As facebook constantly notifies users about these image updates, the pictures serve as a subtle, funny, but also hard to mess message on wearing lipbalm. These online triggers help people overcome their forgetfulness by reminding them that they have chapstick and that they should wear it.
  2. Lip cancer is a serious issue- 3500 people get it each year. We want to change that statistic.
