Lipsmackers are my favorite.
I’ve always used Blistex for my lips when I need something for dry lips.
It doesn’t taste very good because it’s medicine, not candy. And it goes on my lips, not my tongue.
I didn’t know they still made those!!! When I was in 5th grade, my best friend showed up at school one day with one of the giant candy cane-shaped packs…for me! 
There was an apple flavor (possibly candy apple?) that was my favorite. And I want to clarify that I didn’t eat the things - heck, I still can’t stand the texture of lip balm - but they were so strongly scented that you could ‘taste’ them long after you rubbed some on your lips.
Burt’s Bees are generally my go-to lip balms now, except for anything that has pomegranate…for some reason, those make my lips peel.
It’s funny you say that. I almost exclusively use Burt’s Bees lip balms. A few months ago I was having awful problems with my lips feeling very dry to the point of being painful. And there was some peeling going on. I’m pretty sure I was using their pomegranate lip balm at the time. Now I have the coconut pear flavor and no peeling… 
IIRC there was a decent study cited around here a few years ago that lip balms cause, not cure, dry lips.
Folks who don’t use them don’t have problems. Folks who do use them perpetuate and exacerbate their problems.
I’m not competent to say for sure, but I recall the debate and cites.
A quick search shows that it depends on particular ingredients. Some will have ingredients like menthol, phenol, or salicylic acid, and those may irritate lips. Also, some will cause allergic reactions in people, leading to dermatitis on the lips. Beeswax or fragrances are also things to watch out for.
I’m not seeing anything that says that all lip balms are harmful to everyone, though. A simple lip balm with petroleum jelly as a main ingredient seems generally safe.
