Scotch Tape

No.

Scotch Tape brand has recalled over 50,000 of their thermal laminators because some are overheating.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says they've received 63 different reports of the products either smoking or melting, and five reports say the laminator caught fire completely.

Something tells me that's not how they bill it on the box.

Right

... you know, we're-- we Scotch taped this thing together, growing to this pace over the last, you know, thirteen years.

So i- it's...

And then if you layer on the emotional overhang on everyone involved, where everybody's like, "I don't know if my job exists," or, "I don't, uh, I don't know that I can understand this stuff and be effective," it's really, really difficult, uh-

Oh, tape, but not any tape.

It has to be the Scotch brand tape.

Yes.

Our school list straight up was like, don't bring no dollar store tape.

We want Scotch brand tape.

I'm like, okay, beggars can't be choosers, first of all.

You're already digging into my pocket.

Yeah, we've been doing this innovation thing for a while.

And actually, you know, Scotch brand, it started in 1929.

Before Scotch brand, there wasn't a tape solution out there.

So 3M invented tape and as a result, invented packaging tape.

And back in...

I didn't know that you invented the tape sealer and tape.

That's incredible.

I knew the history of Scotch tape, which I'm sure everyone listening has a few rolls of that in their, their drawer with all the pens and all the scissors, but it's a, it's a globally known product and brand.
