I've heard lately on the radio, particularly Paul Harvey that CLR stands for
Calcium, Lime and Rust. I say that it originally stood for Calcium, Lime
Remover. Does anyone else remember this?

I don't know, but the stuff never touches the rust stains I try it on.

Doesn't work on anything I've ever tried it on. A waste of money.

I like it. I think the wife would prefer I use this in lieu of

Probably. :o)
Of course, puddles don't usually hit the proverbial fan.
Nor is it easy to be up Puddle Creek without a paddle. It looses
something.

Anyway, I change it at least once a week or whenever I think about it.
