- I wonder if the original inventors realized that we'd be using duct tape for everything from repairing airplane skins to fixing clothing. I understand there is a college scholarship offered to the most creative prom dress made entirely of duct tape. Amanda even found instructions on how to make roses using different color duct tape.

It was originally OD green and was called "duck" tape because it was water proof and shed water like off a duck's back. They started using it on ducts after WW II and changed the color to silver, but later found it was problematic in such a role (pun intended). It became brittle, and did not come up to any kind of safety standard with regard to fire, so it is banned for use with ducts in states such as California, and not officially sanctioned for that use anywhere. But the name stuck (another pun if you please) with duct, although you get some old guys like me that still use the term "duck" tape rather than "duct" tape.
