No. It was a broadleaf specific formulation of 24-D in wax that would
kill weeds and not harm the grass at all.

Something like this perhaps, although the one I remember was in a
plastic 'extruder', rather like an giant lipstick.

Or Pritt with weedkiller in.

I find that a 12" screwdriver is the best way to spot weed an
established lawn of dandelions. Very satisfying to get the entire carrot
root out in one go.

I do a dose of weed and feed in spring most years, but I carefully avoid
killing any nice low growing grassland pasture weeds that have
established themselves in the lawn. I don't want a bowling green.
