But my rage-bait headline!
Now what do we do with this rage!? I'm angry and confused now!
I save it for people who suggest using WD-40 as a lubricant. Then I unload 2-3 years of checked rage.
Hey! Look at this guy! He seems angry too! You should believe and vote for him so you're less confused!
In America, said angry man is almost always in favour of tax and service cuts for Citizens United reasons. In Canada, the angry man is aping the American angry men because the border is apparently theoretical.

I’m glad they found comments from someone intelligent
Sensationalist bullshit headline.
The formulas will change to meet the new standards….
Don't you remember when all cars were banned when seatbelts were made mandatory?
Typical government overreach!
I'm torn as to whether to agree with you or not. On the one hand, people who aren't taking the time to parse the headline are certainly getting worked up. On the other hand, the headline accurately represents the ban in that the current formulation of WD-40 will be banned in aerosol form. If they want to sell that formulation in plain cans or Non-aerosol spray bottles, they are free to do so.
Wd-40 has more than one aerosol product, others already meet the standards, so the headline is just plain false right off the bat.
Adding even non-compliant to the headline would go a long way and basically fox everyone of your concerns.
