Yep, I shall count myself lucky.

At least it wasn't a band-aid.

It hurts when you have hairy legs and you're trying to get it off without pulling too many hairs out.

When did they create this wonderful thing?

Do you know, i have no idea.
Perhaps someone less lazy than myself would google it for us?

Hopeful idea, that is. One day it will happen. Maybe Strike wolf or someone else will ease the burden off our shoulders.

If Sellotape is the brand name, what is the actual product called?

Dariune · Post by **Dariune** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 11:17 am

Sticky back plastic?

My husband has an airconditioning business. His guys use this tape to seal duct work every single day. We used to use it instead of bandaids for cuts to because it was always around.

Now we just superglue our cuts.

You do what?
You have my profound respect ... and possibly a little bit of fear

Meh, I would probably get someone else to do it for me then take the credit of looking it up. Or if I felt I could get away with it just make up something random like "selotape was found in 1946 having been created by the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima"

So many names for one thing!

Dariune · Post by **Dariune** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 3:29 pm

I used to always get confused with products which have become known by their main brand name.

Such as hoover is actually a vacuum cleaner and Rizla are actually papers or skins.

Maybe im easily confused

In the US, Hoover is also a dam and a former president.
