There's nothing sexy about scotch tape
It provides a function
Been around for ages
Gotten better over time
The matte finish less sticky than
ever before
Despite the chemical smell
it's a tried and true product
From Scotland I presume
Though that could be a misnomer
Like buying it in bulk
At the big box store
48 rolls
Won't buy it again for 10 years
Not sexy
No way
Functional to the max
That's kinda Hot

sometimes functional is hot. sometimes you don't need a bunch of bells and whistles. you just need something to get the job done. scotch tape.

The use of the term Scotch in the name was a pejorative meaning "stingy" in the 1920s and 1930s. The brand name Scotch came about around 1925 while Richard Drew was testing his first masking tape to determine how much adhesive he needed to add. The body shop painter became frustrated with the sample masking tape and exclaimed, "Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!"

I somehow knew their was a stingy element to the tape making, but didn't want to get into that part
