Why is WD40 marked 'Over18s only'?

snubbleste · 20-02-2014 5:09pm #1

Aldi are selling a 220ml spray can of lubricant next week.
It is marked for over 18s only.
Why? why?

Sex reasons.

Kids trying to get high on it.

RennIes require age confirmation as well.

I can't think of anything other than the sex reasons.

Have people's bits started to rust through lack of use and being left out in the rain?

magentis · 20-02-2014 5:21pm

You can reference the Material Safety Data Sheets for WD40 here. [2 page PDF file] Some relevant data excerpted from that source:

The major irritant information is:
Aliphatic Petroleum Distillates (Stoddard Solvent) lowest TLV (ACGIH 100 ppm.)

Symptoms of Overexposure

Never seen a stonemason on a trike.

mawk · 20-02-2014 5:26pm

So... Yeah, huffing

I assume, just like my other drinks of choice, Scotch and Tennants, it's because of it's alcohol content.

WD40 is the alternative for lube marketed for the people out there who may be embarrassed in purchasing condoms and analus lube.

By buying WD40 - No one is none the wiser.

Simples.

Yup

PTFE is the only man for lubrication.

Sir Arthur Daley · 20-02-2014 6:08pm

Everything works better with lubrication, WD40 has excellent penetration to loosen up the most seized nuts and bolts.

Slap on a bit of Bosswhite,tis yer only man.

Sh1t.

I wondered why the women in B&Q looked at me funny when I went to buy a trolley full of it. This, ^, I did not know. I'm also a bit sceptical. No too sure WD40 would agree with lady-bits or inner-azzes. I'd imagine it could prove rashy.
