When Richard Drew tested his first masking tape in 1925, it was so ineffective that the painter trying it out reportedly threw the product back at him, shouting, "Take this tape back to those Scotch bosses of yours and tell them to put more adhesive on it!" At the time, the term "Scotch" meant anyone who was stingy or cheap; it was born of the stereotype that Scottish people are all of an overly "frugal" mindset. Although Drew improved his masking tape and developed many other functional tapes after that, the name "Scotch" stuck. 3M continues to market their Scotch Brand adhesive products. Over the years, "scotch tape" has itself become a generic term for any roll of (usually transparent or cellophane) tape.
