I didn't mean to yell "original" in the title, but this one is for my
wife.  She has used this for years.  Suddenly, it can't be found
anywhere.  This is where you come in.
This is what I will accept as a correct answer:
A place that I can purchase at least 25 of these in 0.35 ounce tubes. 
I will only award an answer after purchase confirmation. This doesn't
have to be an online order, a correct answer could also be a local
order (walk-in) within a 50 mile radius of the zip code 28027. Yes,
you read it correctly... I will go 50 miles for this.  But, only
because it is for my wife.  If the price is right, I may even drive
further.

Unfortunately, I'm finding it very difficult to find a correct
advertisement for this items as well.  This is the reason why I will
not accept an item that is advertised as "original", but pictured as
"advanced" without some form of verification.  An example of this can
be found here:

Thanks to all that help!

Ok, I've doubled my price & I've called vaseline.  Here are the
results from the call:
They tell me this was a cosmetic change only & that nothing changed in
the chemical makeup of the therapy lotion.  My wife insists this is
not true, so my hunt continues.

I've also confirmed that the tube in question is an "off yellow" color, not white.
Please help!
Thanks for the responses!

I meant to add:
The representative insisted that the item I'm after doesn't exist any
more & could  not offer any help in locating any. It has only been a
month since I've seen the item I'm after.

From my experience in trying to find discontinued products, this is
likely to be a time-consuming search. You may want to consider raising
your fee in order to make this a more attractive project for
Researchers to undertake.

Why don't you just contact the company direct? You could then ask them
if they even make it anymore. I have even once called a company about
a product that I couldn't obtain in my area and they sent me 5pcs for
free! I didn't even ask for that. They had asked my address and number
so they could contact me later with more info and thats what happened.
Good luck!

hi
recently, I went into a drug store, and saw the vaseline lip therapy
that you're looking for. It has a blue top, the body is light yellow
(lighter than the car max tube). It sold for around $2 per tube. The
store located in GA

It's the same petroleum jelly they & other manufacturers put in
zilliojns of tubes, jars, etc. Buy any of them that list no
ingredients other than "petroleum jelly".

Common additional ingredients are sunblocks, "preservatives", perfumes, etc.

Hello ... your wife is right.  I just found out that the advanced
formula had been changed to the white container, tried it, and the two
products are NOT the same.  The new one doesn't last very long after
being applied.  I searched everywhere, and bought several dozen online
that showed the product with the yellowish container and blue top. 
Just opened the box, and I now have a bunch of the new product
instead.  I'll be sending it back on Monday.

Have you had any luck yet locating the old product?  I rather doubt it
from what you said about your search.  How could Vaseline do this? 
Don't they have lip testers around (smile)?
