"Now yer gittn fancy on us. Duct tape is #1." Piffle and folderol. Admittedly, duct tape does provide a very nice seal. And 3M #4755 adds a nice overtone to virtually any domestic champagne. However, it is crystal clear that you've never tried to untape a set of six flutes after the party's over and everyone's staggered home. You probably have your wife do it. On the other hand, if you've plugged 'em with Bazooka, all you have to do is attach the end of the flute to a Compasseco BS4 competition air rifle, or similar brand with a muzzle energy of at least 5.5 FP, pull the trigger, and POW!! Voila, all the gum pieces pop out in a trice. Flavored duct tape? Could have a market among the more sensitive breed of kidnappers. "Really sorry to have to do this. Do you prefer wild cherry, or mint?"
