For the past 55 years, the makers of WD-40 have listened to complaints from consumers about how difficult it is to keep track of that little red straw that can be fitted into the nozzle for precise delivery. But all that bad karma is about to disappear.

The company has developed the "Smart Straw" can that features a flip-up straw. Flip it down for a wide spray, or flip it up to have a pinpoint stream for those hard-to-reach places.

All 8-, 11- and 12-ounce cans of WD-40 will feature the Smart Straw. The formula itself remains unchanged. You should be able to find the new cans on store shelves now.
