It's funny when certain brand names become so popular they're the name of the actual product, like Kleenex or Band-Aids, amirite?

medicated adhesive strip sounds way cooler than band-aid

*duct* tape

by Anonymous 13 years ago

the brand is Duck tape, but I put the extra effort to say duct

by Anonymous 13 years ago

What? And everyone I know says duct.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You're right, it's duct, cause the makers original purpose was to just use it to fix holes in ducts, but then it expanded to fixing everything
