There’s a reason that there is a warning on the Preparation H tube that says “Do not take orally”
They’ll have to give you Preparation A through G.
Also don't forget G though I - the "GI tract", if you will 🤔😳
well thank you i just forgot how that stretch of the alphabet goes. i blame the cat.
I think it's G-A-S-T-R-O..., well, you get the idea 💡🤪
Makes you wonder what happened to them. Like what happened to WD01 through WD39…
The inventor didn't think they were useful.
Somewhere at Heinz there's a filing cabinet with recipes for sauces 1-56 in it, and none of them taste very good.
Heinz 42 opened a small wormhole into another universe.
LSD is actually LSD-25
That is actually how those ones were named. WD stands for water displacer (or displacement), which is what WD40 does, not a lube but an oil that replaces any water where you spray (which can then act as a lube but it's not designed to remain there long term). WD40 was the 40th attempt at developing a water displacer and it worked, so they stopped there.
Well TIL…. cool!
Oh, I assumed it was viscosity like motor oil numbers.
