Sorry Clarence, NO!
Scotch tape is from the manufacturer, who is originally 3m's
(Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing) so it's a fake.
Scotch toffee is a "Hollywoodism" made up by you colonial cousins,
the correct adjective is Scottish.
Oh and Jake asked about Scotch mist, which doesn't exist anyway, so
that doesn't count (really, I forgot that legitimate use of Scotch as
an adjective, but should I admit this to the list?).
I have no doubts there will be more on this topic!
