As they said in Star Wars "There is another." In addition to the above, I'd add 3-in-One, for which WD-40 simply isn't a substitute. It's one of those things that, when people see you have it they laugh about how old-fashioned it is - then show up asking for it. I used to keep a can in my desk at work, and I started just leaving it out so anyone could use it.

9 inch wide Agfa Aerial Film.

Of course since Kodak gave up there is no other competition on the planet. Even the Chinese, Japanese & Russians use it. Digital has some advantages but film still rules for many applications.
