First of all, I would like to thank you for the mediocre lubrication it provided.

Thirdly, I would like to thank you for the semi-permanent and reapplied daily chain tatoo on my right calf.

Fourthly, I would like to thank you for the copious amounts of black splatter on my nice new rims.

Finally, I would like to thank you for the fumes that permeate my house as I had to use car engine cleaner to remove said funk from my chain.

I was a fool to stray from KryTech dry wax lubricants. Motor oil should stay in motors.
With the possible exception of the first point, all wet lubricants do this.
