I did that, until I reused one I did not realize had a tiny hole in it, leaked out in the fridge. My position now is, "Not worth it!"

Easy, just use two used baggies, if that's still leaking use three.

I bought duck tape, but have never used it, because none of my ducks have ever leaked. They all float just fine.

If I might have a pedantic moment it’s duct tape.

david,
Of course it is, but the joke reads better if it is mis-spelled as "duck".

Yes, that is the name of the product, but much like a reciprocating saw is often called a Sawzall because they were the first/leading brand to sell them, Duck Tape (brand duct tape) became synonymous w/ the product early on and many people still call it duck tape.

That's what I thought for years, too, but when it was invented:
"(....called duck tape, from the cotton duck cloth it was originally made of)"
and
"'Duck tape' is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899[2] and "duct tape" (described as "perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape") since 1965.[3]"

not sure where you guys buy your all purpose tape but the stuff I get is "ducked" tape.That's what I thought for years, too, but when it was invented:

It's not mis-spelled, it's actually the the original term. It was used for waterproofing seams on things like ammo cans and wasn't used to seal ventilating ducts until the '50's.

Because you ducked when somebody threw the roll at you?
