Esso Elephant kerosene

Wow! Missed that one. Neither had I. But I recall Esso Blue, and could still sing you the song that advertised it. ANd it's British competitor was Oh-my merry-brain-cells... Pink something. Something Pink?

Was using paraffin as the cheap, portable room-heating fuel until LPG took over that role.
