Absinthe & Cookies (a bit bitter, a bit sweet)

Scotch Tape

I always wondered how it had been invented!

And how it got its name? Hah!

3M tapes got its name when an auto painter, who was given an early 2-inch wide version of Drew's masking tape to perform two-color paint jobs, found that it was coated only a quarter inch wide and snapped at the inventor: "Take this back to your stingy Scotch bosses and tell them to put more adhesive on it."
