WD-40

John S. Barry, WD-40 marketing pioneer, passes away - Core77: "

We're bringing this up because earlier this month John S. Barry, the man responsible for the spread of WD-40, passed away. We should point out that Barry didn't invent the stuff--that credit goes to Norm Larsen, an employee of Rocket Chemical who came up with it in 1953--but Barry, after taking control of Rocket Chemical in 1969, subsequently sent sales into the stratosphere."
