I lost my Chapstick tube

Your post got my attention on both counts - the chapstick and the noodle.

Just recently used a chapstick for the first time in literately multiple scores of years, had to ask a grocery clerk where to find it, surprised to have to choose at the variety of "healthy" ingredients, hassled to de-wrap the plastic, surprised again at the new appearance of the tube, then found that the lips are dried out in the morning.

Then the noodle - have zero idea how they're used in pools, have used a small piece on a protruding pipe in the ground for warning visibility, and a neighbor uses a longer piece sliced lengthwise to cover the sharp prongs on his chainlink fence where he reaches over to dump trash.

Life hacks! Have been thinking of starting a topic on that for a while.
