Scotch Tape (file photo)
Audra Weeks was wrapping a birthday present for a friend when suddenly she ran out of adhesive tape. “I was pulling the tape from the dispenser and the next thing I know, the tape was gone. I screamed to my husband Solomon but to no avail.” Audra says she only needs two pieces of tape complete the wrapping project.
Scotch Tape spokesperson Ted Liu said that with any wrapping project preparation is essential, “We always recommend that the wrapper know how much tape they need versus how much tape they have.”
The cost of additional Scotch Tape could exceed, $20.00 Audra said, in part because she would prefer to buy in bulk. “I don’t want just one or two rolls on hand. The tape will be gone by Christmas and that is the wrong time to be without adhesive tape. That’s embarrassing,” she said. Citing budgetary concerns Solomon Weeks would prefer a more modest purchase but he admits “She will do what she’s got to do.”
