Stick with me kid

I like tape. And glue. Here's some things I've read here and there....

Both duck or duct are correct when you’re talking about my favorite gray tape. Duck tape was developed as a waterproof tape for the Army in WWII. It was made with cotton duck fabric.

Scotch tape got it’s name because the owners of 3M were Scots.

The inventor of Super Glue worked for Kodak, which has done a lot more than just make photography products.

Super Glue was first used to treat wounds during the Vietnam War, though it was not developed for that purpose.

Earle Dickson invented Band-Aid bandages so his wife could apply a bandage to herself when she cut her fingers. Apparently she did this frequently. Moms everywhere thank you for your clumsiness Mrs. Dickson.

Contrary to popular belief, Elmer’s Glue All contains no animal products. It did once, but it wasn't cow hooves. They used to use a protein from milk.
