Maybelline Great Lash Mascara

Since it's such a cult classic, I decided to buy Maybelline's Great Lash mascara. Could it be the HG? Apparently it's "America's Favorite Mascara," and has been for 40 years. I put it on the next morning, and was a little let down. No HG here. The mascara had a good wand; it was uncomplicated and easy to use. The product gave me good definition, and decent length and volume. Sadly, there was nothing remarkable about it. There wasn't anything blatantly wrong with Great Lash, but it didn't have anything special about it. I don't get why it's America's favorite mascara; I still prefer the Falsies.
