I am looking for well known items that were invented by mistake i.e. Corn Flakes, Post It Notes and the Slinky

Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under post it notes | 14 Comments »

I remember seeing on TV the history of several things that were invented or discovered by mistake. I just can’t remember very many. I am particularly interested in things that were invented for a specific purpose but ended up being used and marketed a completely different way.

Can anybody help?

Graham crackers were invented I believe in the 1800s by Reverend S. Graham. He was trying to create a dietary product intended on staving off sexual urges. Haha

yellow post-it notes as attracters for fungus gnats?

Posted by admin on March 5th, 2010 and filed under post it notes | 6 Comments »

I have a very moist house by default. I have these horrible fungus gnats that hover around my plants. I heard that if I somehow plant yelllow stickies in or around the plant, they will attract the fungus gnats and get stuck. Is this true? I’ve tried expensive chemicals ,but they just won’t go away.

Use fly paper and put a small layer of horticultural sand on top of your soil. The sand acts like broken glass to their bodies when they try to bury themselves in your soil.

How much can I get for an office supply closet full of toner cartridges and post-it notes, no questions asked?

Posted by admin on March 3rd, 2010 and filed under post it notes | 2 Comments »

I’m thinking Craigslist or eBay.

Just steer clear of the garage sale route. I sold a few laptops, printers and fax machines that were generously donated to me by my employer, and I didn’t get anywhere near what they were worth.

I’m currently making good "personal" use of the Sharpie surplus in our supply cabinet.

Can you recycle any type of paper? Even paper straw wrappers and shinny advertisement cards, post it notes etc?

If not what paper should/can I recycle?

Yes, provided it is not contaminated (food, motor oil, etc.) or coated with plastic (juice boxes). The problem is that it costs more to have a recycler haul off the paper than it does to dispose of it in the trash. Still it’s a good habit to get into for when the market improves. {Much of the recycled paper becomes insulation for new houses and you know what that market is like, now.]
