I thought it was funny, definitely from a different time. I like WD40 and still use it almost every time I use tools because it is such a great solvent, i.e. it cleans things like nothing else. You spray it on old threads before re-assembling something and it cleans them as well as leaves just the right super-thin film on them.

I think that it's a genius formulation but of course I have every other spray lubricant on earth as well. "Better living through chemistry." One of my other favorites is good old 3-in-1 penetrating oil for threads, it's also a perfect formulation, the consistency of water.
