there's just something "shinier" looking about the pista tape whatever it is.

Anybody here old enough to remember using Benotto tape? Real disco-shiny in a host of colors. It was cool for a while. Slippery as hell, didn't absorb anything, tore easily. Real c*** but it was cool for a few years late '70s-early '80s. Cork rules, but it ain't shiny.
