Before the tape dispenser was invented, people used to manually peel the scotch tape from the end and cut it with scissors.
The standard scotch tape was pretty useful.
However, there’s a small catch to it.
The tape keeps sticking to itself. As a result, you have to search for the end of the tape every time you want to packet another box!
That’s why, the 3M’s sales manager, John Borden, decided to upgrade its standard clear scotch tape to a brand-new tape dispenser.
The upgraded version has a built-in cutting mechanism that can hold the end of the tape and save your time by setting up the dispenser for the next time you want to use it.
