Dr. Joe Schwarcz on the origin of Duck Tape... or is it Duct Tape?

[The_Robert.Fletcher]

Here in the UK Amazon is selling "Duck" tape but then others are selling "Duct" tape The English language is fascinating.

A classic case of Dr. Joe Schwarcz trying to think of what to make a video about, and just looking around his office for inspiration.

I’m sticking with ”duck”, because (a) it resembles the Dutch word “doek” and (b) I don”t like a k-t-t consonant cluster.
