Duck/Duct Tape is interesting because it converges on that. It was originally two separate products, that resembled each other and so merged.

Reply to comment by SirSassyCat in TIL Eating every course seperately is Service à la russe. Before this meals were service à la française where all courses were served at once. Ambassador Alexander Kurakin introduced Service à la russe to France in 1810 and it became the norm by the 1880s. by jamescookenotthatone
