Sticky notes, originally called "Press 'n Peel," were invented by accident in 1968 by Spencer Silver, a 3M scientist who was trying to develop a strong adhesive but instead created a low-tack one. It wasn't until 1980 that they were marketed as "Post-it Notes" after another 3M employee, Art Fry, realized their potential as bookmarks that wouldn't slip out of his hymnal. Since then, they've become a staple in offices and homes worldwide, with a wide array of colors, shapes, and sizes available.
