★★★★ · How thick do you want it? · Spuzz · 2022-02-17

I gotta say, this is a most unique film about something I've not thought about at all. Lubricating grease! I don't know shit about car engines, but is this stuff actually still used? I mean, I was quite amazed at the consistency of the stuff, which resembled somewhere between tar and taffy. really thick! So that was interesting. Also shows many tricks that you, gas station attendant, can use to sell more of these cans and how to present it to the ladies! Weee! Fun! Unfortunate about the film quality, and the titles are very hard to read. Otherwise, highly reccomended!
