Duct Tape: For ducts and blue boxes, not ducks and tailpipes

As a True Canadian, one who sings the national anthem at all sporting events (even curling) and plays hockey with a sweet mixture of grace and aggression, I always have 3M duct tape on hand for minor and major repairs.


This morning I used red duct tape to strengthen the battered corners of my blue box, minutes after a young man in coveralls winged it over his left shoulder and bounced it off a telephone pole before it landed on my lawn.

See how nicely it matches the porch broom. If there’s one thing I like - it’s colour co-ordination.


Those who have been going through life thinking the stickiest, most versatile tape in the world is called duck tape, please take note.

On the inside of the roll are the following words:

Duct Tape. Warning - Do not use on flues, chimneys, mufflers or tailpipes. Not to be confused with duck tape, an inferior product sold only in the seediest of stores.
