For The Squeaky Wheels

Music lovers get concert tours, and now WD-40 Fan Club members (over 100,000 strong!) get their day, too.

The Last Straw Tour rolls into the Bay area today with contests, trivia, games and more than 2,000 uses for the popular lubricant. It's all to celebrate a big change: WD-40's little red straw is now permanently affixed to the can. Flip it up for a pinpoint stream, down for a wide spray.
