I[edit]

I fixed this article, as it was clearly written by someone in the U.S. This isn't a bias, it's just a lack of information on the topic, as it seems the website provided most of the information. As a Canadian, and a frequent user of this product, I fixed up whatever needed to be added, as well as the name of the product itself (It's sold as Rub-A-535, and thus should be titled as it's packaged.)

Well, I don't want to enter an edit war, but the correct naming of the product is acutally RUB A535. The website of the company itself uses this spelling, and if you look at the boxes on the website of Church and Dwight, it's written RUB*A535. I don't remeber when they changed the looks of the box, but I guess that maybe the old style also used a different spelling ? Anyway, I added a redirect from rub-a-535, to avoid any confusion. By the way, the writer of that article IS canadian ;-) .And the iformation mainly comes from Church and dwight's website because there is a policy that say that any information entered must be verifiable and come from trustable sources.

Origin of Name?[edit]

I contacted the manufacturers months ago re: the name (Rub A535), but they chose not to respond to my inquiry.

Does anyone know the origin/reason behind the name? Is it akin to WD40? Or another explanation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.113.228.85 (talk) 20:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Originally called RUB A55, to indicate the 55 iterations before the formula was finalized. However, due to the similarity between “5” and “S”, the “3” was added to satisfy the request of the Quebec government’s language policy at the time (it is thought 3 brothers owned the company at the time of inception) 204.112.46.142 (talk) 11:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
