It holds the universe together (or at least your broken stuff), but where did duct tape actually come from? In this episode of Who Came Up With That?, we peel back the layers on one of the most useful — and misunderstood — inventions of the 20th century.
From WWII battlefield hacks to NASA space missions, and from waterproof ammunition boxes to fixing Apollo 13, duct tape has been through it all. But did you know it started as cotton duck cloth? Or that it was once sold in department store blinds? We’ll take you from muddy trenches to moon landings, exploring how this humble adhesive went from war-time necessity to DIY legend — with plenty of weird, little-known facts along the way.
This is the history of duct tape like you've never heard it before.
