Pandora's Casket

I don't know about you but some tape that you buy is just terrible. Buying a cheap no name brand sometimes is just not the best way to go.

I have two types of tape that I use. One is the packaging tape. The wider rolls that are good for small to large packages. I have only found one type of cheap brand that I actually threw away. The name on the tape was, well, Packing Tape. Bought it once to try. It would not cut right, as it would tear in places that were hard to find later. I like to fold the tape over on the end so the next time I use I do not have this problem. This tape was shredding. I tossed it out.

I am using another off brand that I purchase at the DG. Not to bad. It has a good stick and is easy to manage. The only thing is that I noticed lately that it has an odd odor. Thank goodness it goes away being out in the open. Sturdy and only costs a dollar.

My biggest complaint is with the other tape. The smaller tape that I use for labels and other mailing needs. You purchase some of these tapes that are cheap and what do you get? Aggravation is what you get. Take for example last night. I ran out of my normal tape and had to pull out the cheap tape. It would not tear at all. You know how they have the lines for the container to cut it? Oh no, it would not do that. I finally had to get the scissors out and with a little maneuvering began cutting individual pieces. I finally lost the tape end on the roll never to find it again it seems. This tape was that 3/$1 crap that you see. Why I buy this stuff is beyond me, but I do. Hoping that maybe this time it will be good. What a joke.

I did have some other tape as a fill in but the tape is to narrow to cover what I need. Looks like a shopping trip is in todays plans

If the makers of tape want consumers to purchase their tape put a little effort into either the product or the container you place it in. Of course they got a dollar from me now didn't they????
