Every tortilla pack I’ve ever bought came in a zipper-resealable bag.
Viens au Québec, nos paquets de tortillas sont refermables!
Eh, pas les petites tortillas “traditionnelles” au maïs.
Non, mais le sac a assez de lousse pour être quand refermé hermétiquement. Pas besoin de fucking tape lol.
Use a freezer ziploc bag.
And you can reuse them, especially for something like this.
I’ve used various household tapes like that on food packages and it’s a bad idea, imo, as they end up absorbing some volatile chemicals from the adhesive.

Fine, but why is this here?
Something wrong with these?
That’s duck tape, and you wouldn’t have to if you bought decent tortillas like Guerrero instead of Old El Paso.
Duct. Duck is a brand name, sealing gaps in ductwork is one of the things its really good at and happens to be the same color of, to blend into.
But yes, ops tortillas are not the best.
Duct tape, as in the grey fiber reinforced tape that we typically think of, is not really a good solution for actually taping ducts.
When you are taping ducts, you typically want to use some type of foil thing, like this, but there are many varieties.
Of course, tape for ducts is, kinda, duct tape by definition. As you can see by how it’s categorized on the home despot site.
Akshully, the tape was originally called “duck tape” because it was made from a fabric called “cotton duck canvas”
It’s named after the fabric, cotton duck.
Here in Europe the choice is pretty limited.
Duct. Duck is a brand name
Yes. But also mostly no.
Wikipedia:
“Duck tape” is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899 and “duct tape” (described as “perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape”) since 1965
and:
In 1971, Jack Kahl bought the Anderson firm and renamed it Manco. In 1975, Kahl rebranded the duct tape made by his company. Because the previously used generic term “duck tape” had fallen out of use, he was able to trademark the brand “Duck Tape” and market his product complete with a yellow cartoon duck logo. Manco chose the term “Duck”, the tape’s original name, as “a play on the fact that people often refer to duct tape as ‘duck tape’”, and as a marketing differentiation to stand out against other sellers of duct tape.
People should really do the bare minimum double-check before showing their whole ass.
As others have noted, “duct tape” is the last thing you want to use on ducts. Better to actually call it “duck tape,” as it was for the first 65 years of its existence.

This is the most hostile tape-related comment I ever read.

Definitely was called duck tape first, as in water off a duck’s back

Just like you shouldn’t use duct tape on ducts, you shouldn’t use duck tape on ducks.
Then what kind should I use instead?
Ask the duck what it prefers
The popular form of duct tape doesn’t have similar rates of expansion/contraction to ductwork making it a bad choice for ducts.
Not as bad as op’s tortilla choice, though.
These are the premium brand near me 🫤
The fact that it’s overpriced doesn’t mean that it’s good.
Yeh, but the cheaper ones are worse…
First world problems
I’m in the US and a lot of quality, locally made tortillas come in bags with a twist tie. I just fold/roll them over and put them in the cabinet. I also eat about three or four a day, they are my bread.
Zip Loc my dude
That looks too glossy to be gaffer’s tape, and I’ve never seen gaffers tape in gray, usually always black. That looks more like duct tape.

Came here to say exactly this. Gaff tape is made out of a cotton cloth material. This is clearly plastic, so duct tape, which is very different.
Looks exactly like what I bought as gaffer and have at home.
Then you got ripped off.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaffer_tape
No, it’s duct tape. If you bought gaffer tape that looks like the tape in the image, it was mislabeled or misadvertised, gaffer tape is made of different material and is not usually shiny, because light reflection would not be a good thing for what it is used for.
I too came to comment on the tape. This would definitely leave a sticky residue if the tortillas are not consumed quickly.
Freeze them
Why do you have to? Who’s forcing you to duct tape the tortillas? Should we call the police?
They dry up, if not in the shitty plastic bag you can only cut to open.
They were asking for it.
Tortilla fetish
finish your meal homie
