Surely that can't be real. I mean, did they really need to advertise the height and diameter of the can?

 

It's just too good to be true...

It's all fun and games until someone ends up in A&E with a broken rusty tool.

I wonder how many used it for 'non-metal' purposes by mistake?

Sadly a fake (but I guess we all figured that out) snopes.com: 1964 WD-40 Ad Full of Sexual Innuendo

Dare I ask what "non-metal" purposes you were referring to?

The lack of an apostrophe in the phrase ITS GOOD STUFF is the give-away that it's fake - they would never have missed that out in advertising copy in the sixties.
