Two apples from the same tree are facing off in the opening match of the Sweet Sixteen. With the home court advantage, standing two inches wide, monochromatic and tenacious we've got Gaff Tape. It handily trounced staples and paperclips 55 to 2 in the last tier, but it's going to have an uphill roll against...
Spike tape. Multiple colors and a narrower frame than gaff, but essentially cut from the same cloth. Spike was bloodied in its battle against Post-Its but came out ahead, winning 37 to 10 against despite fighting on a foreign court. Can it pull out the upset and topple its big brother?
The obvious sticky point (pun intended) will be that gaff tape can become spike tape with little provocation, and vice versa. Can spike's convenience and flash overcome the juggernaut of the gaffa?
