If you’re the victim of a theft while on holiday the last place that a thief will think to look is inside a Chapstick – so it’s the perfect place to stash a high-value note for an emergency.
A video from shows how to get the balm out of the pot and insert the cash.

You then use a small stick to the remove any remnant of leftover lip balm.
Once this is done, simply fold and roll your banknote so that it will fit into the space where the lip balm was.
You can then wind the lip balm up, as you would if you were going to put some on - but it will be money that pops out.
