I wonder what percentage of graphene is in it? Reason I ask is because graphene is very strong, as is...
Granite.
Diamond.
Steel.
Tungsten carbide.
Hulk Hogan.
And none of them are used to make lubricants.
Sounds like a load of unproven, highly dubious markeying bollards to me.

Taste nice though especially as an after dinner mint
I've given you a like, but, graphene is like graphite rather than diamond. Graphene is sort of graphite monolayers, in a sense hard sheets, which are difficult to tear (that's what hard means in this context), but which slide easily against each other under shear, which would confer them lubricating properties. Note that tungsten is used in the same way as a lubricant additive.

I too was wondering why graphene would be remotely helpful as a lubricant, given graphite has the slipperiness and is cheap. Presumably graphene tubes would be expensive to make and with little benefit unless you're making the cable for an Arthur C Clarke space elevator
No, making the presentation box look like a box of chocolates and making the table look like a bar of chocolate might make it attractive to kids and is a bad idea, but you already knew that. Whether the mechanical properties of graphene actually add anything to the wax as a chain lubricant is another matter.

More wheels than sense
Try Google Scholar , it returns pages of papers, with positive results, on the use of graphene as a lubricant and lubricant additive.
I don’t think it is the presentation box. Inov8 use Graphene in the soles of their fell running trainers. I have 3 pairs of Inov8’s and my Labrador never bothered with them but recently got some Trail Roc’s with Graphene soles and he chewed the bloody things. Proof indeed that it’s the Graphene they are attracted to.
P.S Graphene soles are seriously grippy and good

I think perhaps some may have missed, despite the mention of Hulk Hogan, that the tonge was at least part way in the cheek.
I should have remembered it was you posting.

Ooops, I forgot that your tongue's preferred position in deep into the cheek.

Swiss Stop brake blocks look like wine gums.
Though I've never been tempted to taste them.

A special edition After Eight for cyclists.What on earth is this thread about?
Apparently they've been kept in a bubble :-)
