This topic is worthy as a video because the chapstick company is so big. It is so big that it became a general term. And there is no answer to really why. Also there is a lot of history from this brand. For example “https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-chapstick-and-carmex-1991474” states, “ Dr. C. D. Fleet, a physician from Lynchburg, Virginia, invented Chapstick or lip balm in the early 1880s. Fleet made the first Chapstick himself that resembled a small wickless candle wrapped in tin foil. Fleet sold his recipe to fellow Lynchburg resident John Morton in 1912 for five dollars after failing to sell enough of the product to make it worth his continued efforts. John Morton along with his wife started production of the pink Chapstick in their kitchen. Mrs. Morton melted and mixed the ingredients and then used brass tubes to mold the sticks. The business was successful and the Morton Manufacturing Corporation was founded on the sales of Chapstick.” This is just a piece of the history of this brand. So it would be very easy to make a video on it. You can also find out why it is so big. Because no one knows. I would like to figure this out. Also it is crazy to think that such a big brand now at days was sold for only 5 dollars back then. This is why you should do a video on the company chapstick.
