SUMMARY:CELLOPHANE TAPE DAY
DESCRIPTION:This post, Cellophane Tape Day, may contain affiliate links, which means Happy Hive Homeschooling may receive a commission, at no extra cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link. Please see our full disclosure for further information.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou may be familiar with Cellophane Tape’s more common name “Scotch Tape”. In fact, when it was invented, Cellophane tape was called Scotch Cellulose Tape then  Scotch Transparent Tape. This wonderful tape was invented by an employee of the 3M company.  While Richard Drew was delivering sandpaper to an auto body paint shop, he noticed they had a problem. When employees pulled the tape off, the paint peeled. \n\n\n\nDrew invented a masking tape that could be used that would not peel the paint. After cellophane was invented, he wanted to create a tape made of cellophane. This tape would seal packaging and blend in without being visible.\n\n\n\nThe tape got the name ‘Scotch’ when a body-shop painter, while testing the tape, yelled in frustration “Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!”\n\n\n\nIn the 1920s, the term “Scotch” was a slang term that meant something or someone that was cheap or stingy. Based on the feedback,  the inventor  Richard Drew applied more adhesive to the tape. The term stuck and Scotch Tape was born… \n\n\n\nWe celebrate Scotch Tape Day on January 31\n\n\n\nCellophane Tape Day is May 27th in honor of this clear household stationery staple receiving its patent. \n\n\n\nRichard Drew was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for the invention of Scotch Tape! Even though other manufacturers make Cellophane tape, many people refer to any clear tape as “Scotch Tape”. \n\n\n\nRead about SCOTCH TAPE DAY ( https://happyhivehomeschooling.com/what-is-todays-holiday/national-scotch-tape-day/ )\n\n\n\nYou can celebrate CELLOPHANE TAPE  Day by: \n\n\n\nCellophane tape, also known as Scotch tape, is a versatile adhesive that can be used in many fun and creative ways.
