Well which one is correct ? I was in MFI today and they label it "duck". I always thought it was "duct". I dont think I will sleep tonight.

Don't panic! it's both, Duck tape is a
brand name of Duct tape.
Same as most people calling a vacuum cleaner, a Hoover.
Sweet dreams.

For me the name I use depends upon what I am applying it to. If I were taping up a duct then I would call it Duct Tape, if on the other hand...

Don't buy 'Duck' tape as the store will stick you with a large bill

Looks like we've gone to size here as well! Next you'll be telling us that it comes in three sizes, Teal, Mallard and Swan!

Withers, you know, "Lovely Day"...............the longest single sung note on a record.
Dreadful record by the way!

I've found this old photo out that I took of some ducks, when the wind kept blowing its feathers on its head (the middle one), it had a proper bouffant.
That's what duck tape is for!
