AVON, Ohio (May, 2012) – He may live in a pineapple under the sea, but everyone’s porous pal, SpongeBob SquarePants, will soon be popping up on shelves throughout the country. Duck® brand duct tape is thrilled to introduce a new duct tape pattern featuring the most beloved yellow sponge from Nickelodeon’s hit animated series.
