The History of WD40

You’ve probably heard of WD40 before. You may have even used it. This spray can do many different things and acts as a lubricant, moisture displacer, rust preventative, and more. This magical item can do everything from helping remove paint from a floor to removing rust from saws.

Many people swear by this stuff for different reasons, so it’s pretty funny (and very interesting) to learn that the first 39 trials of the item were complete failures. The only reason WD40 has the name WD40 is that every other number failed. But there is a life lesson here! Never give up trying, even after 39 failed attempts!
