Post-it Notes were originally created as bookmarks for hymn books. In the late 1960s, Spencer Silver, a scientist at 3M, was attempting to develop a super-strong adhesive but instead created a weak, repositionable adhesive. This led to the idea of using the adhesive on small pieces of paper, resulting in the creation of Post-it Notes, which were initially marketed in the 1980s as a tool for reminders and notes.
