Wonderful! Especially "Keeps flies off cows" and pigeons off balconies.
Who knows the equally unlikely history of Swarfega? It was originally sold as a cleaner for silk stockings. Then, in World War Two when machine-washable nylons came in and all silk was requisitioned to make into parachutes, they cast around for a new market for the stuff and retargetted it at engineers. The company name Deb comes from the original target market - debutantes. I still use it to keep my silk stockings like new.
