Fowl lip balm flying off shelves (Chicken Poop)

[atommom]

I'm beginning to think that naming and marketing really IS everything....

Wichita — Jamie Tabor hopes to someday retire on Chicken Poop.

Chicken Poop is the whimsical name of her all-natural lip balm, which she makes in a corner of the Fisch Haus, an artists’ cooperative on South Commerce.

Tabor sells Chicken Poop at 15 stores in Wichita and across the country. Much of her business is coming from Chicago, driven in part by a mention in Daily Candy, an e-mail magazine of sorts about fashion, shopping and cultural events tailored to metropolitan areas.

She began making Chicken Poop — from soy, jojoba oil, orange, lavender and beeswax — in 2000.

And the name Chicken Poop?

It comes from a joke her grandfather used to tell her: “If you’ve got chapped lips, put some chicken poop on them and you won’t lick them.”

1. "... you won’t lick them.”

Wise words, indeed.

2. Who told you to put the balm on? I didn't tell you to put the balm on.
