It’s hard to imagine a stationery cupboard or a desk without an array of Post-It notes strewn about it, but the humble sticky memo pad came about by accident;

Years previously, Silver had been unsuccessfully working on formulating a strong adhesive – managing only to create a very weak glue that could be effortlessly removed.
