WD40 is about as much use as water, anyway. IOW, a slightly better
product than Hammerite.


That would be why it's the worlds best selling maintenance spray, why
it's sold in 180 countries worldwide, was ranked as one of the €śTop 100
Inventions of All-Time€ť by UK Consumers in a 2010 Tesco Survey and why
they sell $300 million worth a year.


The Sun is the best selling newspaper in the UK, by a country mile. Does
that mean it's any _good_?


We've been around this loop many, many times.

WD40 may not the ultimate lubricant, rust proofer, release agent, sticky
label remover, barbecue lighter fuel etc - but it's pretty good at all
of its claimed functions, and it's all there in a single can.
