 Imported Toy |
Polywater has defended itself against many newcomers in the cable pulling lube market over time. Each promoted their product as superior for one or more reasons--many of which were ... interesting, if not entirely relevant to whether or not they eased cable installation. Examples included the "Our lube is blue too" response to Dyna-Blue's success; the false "Ours is the first clear lube in history" claim; and our personal favorite: "Our lube is made from cabbages." Here we go again. This time the competitive "threat" comes from a Chinese import. After undoubtedly exhaustive market research a Chinese manufacturer has identified Polywater as a potential cable lube user, not a competitor. They keep spamming us with their product offering, which includes such compelling claims as:
Let's hope imported cable lube is safer than imported toys ... and that the manufacturer invested more in formulating and testing than in translation services. For customers who eat through their nose and seek pollution-free lube to stretch their cables for that room-temperature pull across the corner--and who aren't concerned about trade deficits--this could be just the thing. For other customers we reiterate that Polywater Lubricants are Made in America and that we add no pollution to them. We're thinking of replacing our "We Bottle Solutions" motto with something catchy, like, "Polywater: Pollution Free Since '73." |
