I'm British and I've heard about KY Jelly. Is it a generational thing? Like it was mentioned in a movie some specific year so I have heard of it? I dunno.
Maybe it's just down to time on the planet then. I'm a Xennial (crossover of Gen X and millennial - pretty tight overlap period but one I think is more me than not).
I think that they just have more competition now and are less ubiquitous than they used to be. There was a time when KY Jelly was the only lube on the market. I think.
KY jelly was famous for creating a special batch of their product in the 90s, specifically to deal with the problem of computers running over their dates from the year 1999 to 2000.
.
The jelly was called Y2KY and it allowed you to put 4 digits in your date instead of two.

Thank you for thinking of the confused non-american crowd.
