May 27
Many celebrations involve the act of gifting to our loved ones. Now imagine where we would be without tape to wrap our gifts!
Today is National Cellophane Tape Day in America and is celebrated annually on May 27 to commemorate this handy invention. The rest of the world remains grateful, but hasn’t stuck to celebrating the tape quite so formally.
The Stuff That Sticks
Some people choose to exult
cellophane tape
-that transparent, polypropylene-based,
pressure-sensitive tape
with a backing to which an adhesive substance is affixed
for the purpose of joining materials
in households
and industrial situations.
No doubt a much sought after aid
In the essential act of gift wrapping
-invaluable in effecting running repairs at a moment's notice.
Sticky and stoic.
The tale of the tape
remain something of a sticking point.
No masking that fact.
