It's because they used to repair bullet holes in helicopters in Nam with it . At or about 100 mph it would finally come off .
I made this all up , but it sounded good at the time didn't it ?
Originally posted by AThousandYoungHmmm, you may have a point, though spontaneously breaking doesn't sound like name brand duct tape, maybe generic at Wally World.
Tape that quacks under pressure is superior to tape that does not, because it warns you when it's under pressure. Duct tape might spontaneously break because you didn't know it was under pressure!
Duck tape > duct tape.

LOL! Sellotape!!!! For shame, for shame! I bet the ad is made from the out takes. I bet they used Sellotape first and, of course, it didn't work. And then they filmed the scene again using duct tape and, of course, it did work. Duct tape always works.

Originally posted by Jay PeateaWell, I'm 66, maybe I'll run out of fluff before it runs out of stick. However, if it does run out of stick first then I'll roll it up in a little ball, dip it in caramel and give it to a neighborhood kid next Halloween for Trick-or-Treat candy. That's how I get rid of the belly button fluff every year.
So what will you do with that bit of tape that you are using to collect you belly button fluff ? You know sooner or later it will run out of stick.

This would have never happened if you had used good old Sellotape.
I hasten to add that Sellotape is clear, making it an idea product for repairing things like torn pages in kids books. Of course for a real profession job you should use Scotch/Magic tape which disappears when applied but this far too expensive for the average family to afford. Sellotape is a high performance alternative, widely available and very cheap allowing your kids to have endless hours of fun sticking drawings to your walls, and making invisible traps for house hold pets, and grandparents that creep around your home. Plus there is no or very little "sticker plaster" residue mark, like you get with duct tape, very handy when the little brats have covered the TV remote control with it as a joke for daddy. It even has a built in facility that turns crinkly & yellow with age, giving the appearance to objects stuck together with it, that they are much older, thus increasing the value 3 fold.
Duct tape naa, Sellotape is far superior🙂
