For those who don't know: Sports fans in Philadelphia apparently like to climb poles during big events like the Superbowl. The city lubes the poles to try to prevent that.

Apparently, the lube they're using nowadays is from a niche brand that will be familiar to some here:

The department’s current lubricant of choice, Bio-Bottle Jack Hydraulic Fluid, is priced at $38.88 per gallon. Ben Garmier, vice president of manufacturer Renewable Lubricants, said the product was eco-friendly and causes little to no skin irritation.

“If anybody were to get crazy, it’s not going to hurt them,” he said.

Why ‘greasing’ the poles has not stopped Eagles fans from climbing

A Super Bowl for Philadelphia means that police worry about fans climbing poles. Turns out it's not so easy to prevent.

In Philly they shoot each other....PS: It was low class of Philly fans to boo Dak Prescott after he received the Walter Payton award.
