00:00 The invention of post-it, summed up in less than 30 seconds.
00:02 Well, I don't have much time, but basically, you have to know that they were created by accident.
00:05 A chemist named Spencer Silver was trying to create an ultra-powerful glue.
00:09 Except that after a failure, he created a glue not at all powerful.
00:11 But it still had the particularity of being able to be glued and detached.
00:14 So he didn't immediately have the idea of using it on small pieces of paper.
00:17 On the contrary, he didn't see much use for it at first, so he put it aside.
00:21 And it was only a few years later that a friend of his understood its potential.
00:24 If you put it on a sheet, you can glue it, then detach it, then re-glue it afterwards.
00:28 And all this without damaging the paper or the support on which it is glued.
00:31 Idea of the century, billions of euros in profits and all this starting from a mistake.
00:35 Well, see you later, bye!
