Both names have been in use for a long time.

Here’s an overview of the history of the name: https://www.duckbrand.com/about

Now you need to use it to catch a duck!

Hey, I’ve got a roll of that at home too! My folks brought it back when they went to the US because they thought it was hilarious.

I think it’s because I corrected them once about it being duct tape so they waited like 20 years and got revenge. So pedantic. So petty.

This is ducking crazy.

I wonder if they are under threat to lose their trademark for genericide. I remember Velcro running a campaign to keep from it happening to them.

I get the joke but that’s for a completely different use actually. Specifically for repairing Ducks after a molt. For DUCTS, or ducting repairs, you need to hit the primate section and grab an ape.
