Ok. I’m 51 years old. Love language. Love learning etymology.

I just learned that what I’ve always thought of as “craft paper” because it’s used for crafting (as many kids learn to use it) is in fact “kraft paper” so named because it is the resulting paper from the “Kraft” paper pulp process, which produces a stronger product than other methods.
Butcher’s paper, paper bags, & so forth, all kraft paper.

Leading me inexorably to some questions regarding the production of Kraft Dinner…?
