Question: Why is that really strong, silver tape called 'Duck Tape'?
Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I don't get why it's called that?

When I think of ducks, I don't generally think of something strong, or sticky.

It's for taping leaky ducts.

I feel that Ed (TV) is the apotheosis of a prevailing American syndrome. It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue.

Actually, Duct tape has a lot of uses. But it is not designed to be used on heating duct work(square or round)
For that you need silver/metal tape.

Duck Tape is an actual brand. It's a crappier version of the real duct tape (which could hold a freaking space ship together, seriously, don't mock the duct tape usage) and made for people who think it's "Duck" tape to con them into buying their shitty product.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1023747

Duct tape in Australia is not the same as the duct tape sold in the US. It doesn't have a cloth backing.

You guys would call it cloth tape or gaffer tape.
