1953 was a year jam-packed with history, innovation and culture; examples being the death of Joseph Stalin, the development of the hydrogen bomb, and the publication of the first issue of Playboy. However, none of these hold a candle to the most amazing event of that year, and arguably any year: the successful formulation of what is now known as WD-40.
Invented by Norm Larsen and manufactured by the Rocket Chemical Company, WD-40 was originally dreamed up as a water displacer/anti-corrosion spray, but on his fortieth attempt at forumating it, Norm created something much greater: the best fucking thing ever. WD-40 prevents rust, it's a lubricant, it removes dirt and grime, it loosens siezed parts, and it does all these things efficiently and thanklessly. WD-40 is your best friend that's always there to lend a helping hand, specially contained in a conveniently pressurised aerosol can. Some guy may have said something to the effect of "alcohol solves all problems" many years ago, but that guy was misquoted, because only WD-40 has the power to do that. Nowadays, the Rocket Chemical Company is called WD-40 to pay tribute to this, their greatest achievement, and to have the name on a huge sign out the front of their headquarters - and who could blame them? It's that awesome. Hell, I'd wear this stuff as cologne if it wasn't harmful to human skin, for WD-40 scoffs at vanity and instead focuses on getting the job done.
When I was a wee lad my father taught me that WD-40 is the most useful and versatile product around, and I thank him for handing down this wisdom to me. As I type this, my guitar's saddle screws are bathing in this amazing substance, and already there is a noticeable difference in appearance - once rusty and brown, the shining silver underneath is being unmasked to see the light of day once more. I am grateful, but WD-40 doesn't need my thanks, for it already has its pride.
March on, WD-40, and may your gift bless future generations like it has blessed mine.
