ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Adhesive tape

Adhesive tape is like a sticky ribbon or piece of string that you can use to hold things together. It has a special glue on one side that helps it stick to things like paper, cardboard, or even walls. You can use it to hold your drawings up on the fridge or to wrap presents. There are different types of adhesive tape for different jobs, like masking tape for painting or duct tape for fixing things. You just peel off the paper backing, stick the tape where you want it, and press down so it stays in place. And if you need to take it off, you can just peel it away without leaving a sticky mess behind.
