Yes I do remember them, those semi stiff pieces of plastic tubing about
3/32" diameter that you stuck (not very firmly) into a hole in the can's
spray cap.

They got misplaced very easily too. I used to tape length of plastic
soda straw with it's bottom end folded closed to the side of the WD-40
can to have a spot to keep it in.


Those tubes became a collector's item early on. I stashed the tubes
from an empty cans into the drawer of the tool box. No more lost
tubes

One drop of good "crazy glue" on the edge od the tube before sticking
it in the first time. and the only way to loose the tube is with the
nozzle attached. I use something called "last glue" Works fantastic -
even for splicing "O" ring material.
