Original meaning of CLR

[TOM KAN PA]

I've heard lately on the radio, particularly Paul Harvey that CLR stands for Calcium, Lime and Rust. I say that it originally stood for Calcium, Lime Remover. Does anyone else remember this?

[Phisherman]

Paul Harvey is correct.

I don't know, but the stuff never touches the rust stains I try it on.

Doesn't work on anything I've ever tried it on. A waste of money.

I like it. I think the wife would prefer I use this in lieu of "Shit Happens!"

Probably. :o) Of course, puddles don't usually hit the proverbial fan. Nor is it easy to be up Puddle Creek without a paddle. It looses something.

Anyway, I change it at least once a week or whenever I think about it.
