It’s basically a greasy genie in a bottle.
Use No. 11: Bring it in to get chewing gum out of your kids’ hair.The small-niche nature of the business began to change in 1961, when the first full-truckload order was occasioned by Hurricane Carla, which struck the US Gulf Coast. Employees came in on a Saturday to produce extra WD-40 to meet the needs of disaster victims, to recondition flood- and rain-damaged vehicles and equipment. Before long, itIn 1969, the Rocket Chemical Company was renamed for WD-40, which by then was its sole product.
Some extremely weird uses for the product have been reported over the years. Police once used WD-40 to extricate a naked burglar who had become wedged into ductwork. It was used to help pull a boa constrictor from pipes on the underside of a bus. A pet owner used it to free his parakeet—and himself—from sticky mouse paper.
Another myth the company is quick to dispel is that WD-40 cures arthritis. The claim is made at least once a year in the tabloids, but the folks at WD-40 say no way—and for goodness sake please stop spraying yourself down with our lubricant/degreaser.
