Comic Book Zen :: Cube Lube...whatthehell?!?!


Did anyone ever actually buy this? I mean, even if you were a burgeoning Rubik's Cube speed champion you probably just used something from home or your local hardware store, right? Please tell me no one was stupid enoughto buy a tube of flippin' Cube Lube!

Ad found in Detective Comics 515, June 1982.

  1. I highly doubt that anyone ever bought this. But that illustration is tattoo worthy.

    1. Only if the tattoo also includes the Cube Lube tube below it!

  2. I remember this ad! And i wonder if there is a warehouse somewhere full of this stuff still?

    1. They probably just repackaged it and sold it as toothpaste.

  3. Obviously this is sexual lubricant disguised to appeal to comic-obsessed nerd virgins.

    1. Well in that case they probably sold billions of tubes and the inventor is sailing his yacht, aptly named 'Cube Lube,' somewhere off the coast of Barbados as we speak!
