[00:00.00]Ingenious people have found many  

[00:02.61]alternative uses for this tape. 

[00:05.02]The binder on the tape 

[00:06.99]is of good quality and it

[00:08.74]will stick to most surfaces. 

[00:10.92]The tape is of great strength. 

[00:13.12]It is impossible 

[00:15.30]to tear the tape. 

[00:16.84]It must be cut. 

[00:18.47]The durable nature of the tape 

[00:20.67]is one of its main assets.

[00:22.85]It comes in a variety of  

[00:25.70]widths and the length of 

[00:27.45]the tape on the roll 

[00:28.87]will vary as well. 

[00:30.40]The number of centimeters wide 

[00:33.36]and the number of meters long 

[00:35.32]will determine the price of the roll.

[00:37.73]The duct tape is acquiring  

[00:41.89]fame as the number of 

[00:43.31]its uses for it exceeds 

[00:44.84]the thoughts possible. 

[00:46.70]The number of uses 

[00:48.56]for this tape will amaze you. 

[00:50.86]One internet Website started out 

[00:53.71]trying to identify 101 uses 

[00:55.46]for the duct tape and 

[00:57.86]the list has well 

[00:59.83]over 200 uses on it now. 

[01:01.80]Maybe there are an  

[01:03.77]infinite number of uses. 

[01:06.98]Some of the items it lists 

[01:08.51]involve an imagination 

[01:09.72]but others are quite genuine. 

[01:12.12]Not even a kindergarten student requires 

[01:16.28]instruction on how to use it. 

[01:18.36]One idea seems to generate another， 

[01:21.42]inspired by the unique way 

[01:23.72]someone else has decided to 

[01:25.58]make use of the tape. 

[01:27.66]However, some of the uses 

[01:30.07]are not feasible to execute. 

[01:32.25]For instance, the use 

[01:34.99]of the tape as a bandage

[01:36.42]is not recommended. 

[01:37.94]It could cause injury 

[01:39.59]when it is removed.

[01:41.22] You must evaluate the list 

[01:43.96]with a sense of humor 

[01:45.71]as some of the uses 

[01:47.02]could embarrass a person. 

[01:48.67]The commercial value of 

[01:51.18]the tape is undoubtedly 

[01:52.72]tremendous with huge profits 

[01:54.90]resulting from the sales. 

[01:56.54]The product practically promotes itself 

[01:59.93]without much need for publicity.

[02:02.23]Sometimes you see people, 

[02:05.73]usually male rather than female, 

[02:08.47]wearing shirts that have 

[02:10.66]a slogan written on them 

[02:12.30]that says,“I can fix anything” 

[02:14.26]—and then there is a picture 

[02:16.89]of a duct tape 

[02:18.20]below the saying. 

[02:19.52]The implication presumably is that 

[02:21.71]the duct tape replaces skill.

[02:24.22]Another good marketing strategy 

[02:27.62]that people enjoy is 

[02:29.48]the use of a calendar. 

[02:31.11]There is one page 

[02:32.87]on the calendar for every day 

[02:34.73]of the year and each page 

[02:36.92]shows and describes a new use 

[02:38.33]of the duct tape.
