OK, thinking out loud a little here —your mention of this new lip oil trend as a throwback to early 2000s Juicy Tubes had me immediately thinking, ‘it goes back further than that!’ When I was in middle school in the 1970s, lip glosses in tiny roll-on bottles were popular. They felt super greasy and were kind of sticky. My mom would mock my friends and me, imitating the way she said it made us stick our lips out to keep them from touching. This was probably 1976, 1977, when the U.S. was in the midst of an oil crisis and gasoline shortages. Could there be a connection?
