I have heard that if you have warts, real duct tape can be the answer. (?) I wish I had seen this before I went to the dermatologist: http://www.healthcaresouth.com/pages/ducttape.htm

There’s no doubt that these are silly, a total impulse buy. That being said I’d totally buy some.

I used to work in a pizza kitchen and one night I took a spill and opened up my knee. Like, look inside and see stuff open. My boss taped me back together and sent me on my way to the E.R. Good times.

I had some prototypes of these a few years back - they are definitely conversation starters. Even “cool” guys will wear these.

Adam, did you miss the part where it only LOOKS like duct tape and is actually a sterile adhesive?

Me, I think a duct tape band aid is at least as silly as Elmo. I have, however, had good luck with the active flex type.

(unfortunately, not available in Spider Man…)

Or you could just use…duct tape! and then you’re not giving someone $4 to pre-tear 6 cents worth of duct tape into little strips. Picky folks can sneak a standard band-aid under there first…

I mean goodness the stuff is expensive enough as it is, this is really taking us for a ride.

I’m with you F451, 3M is a class act and deserves to supported, I’ll just pass on this one. Don’t mean to be hostile, I just get riled up at some of these new tricks.

I was walking down the aisle one day at Menards, saw those out of the corner of my eye, and bought a box immediately.

Elmo band aids are lame, everyone knows spiderman band aids are the cool ones.

Actually I’ve been having pretty good luck with band aids active-flex line. Water proof and very flexible. Almost last through a day of work.

I’ll have to give the duct tape ones a go. Wonder how much grief I’ll get for walking around like a refugee from the Red Green show.

Anything 3M is worth buying. A true American company that’s world-class! I’ll be picking some of these up for the shop.
