    The military called the waterproof, cloth-backed, green tape 100-mile-per-hour tape because they could use it to fix anything, from fenders on jeeps to boots.

    According to my Air Force mechanic in Vietnam uncle, they called it 100 mph tape, because that was roughly the speed it would peel off the fuselage of a plane.
