Post-it Note inventor watches Sticky Note Experiments
I recently photographed Art Fry, the inventor of the Post-it Note, for an ongoing photo project I’m doing about inventors. After the shoot, I asked if he’d ever seen the Sticky Note Experiments video by Eepybird (the Mentos and Diet Coke guys). It turned out he hadn’t. Well, I just happened to bring a copy of the video with me on my iPhone so I could show it to him.
I filmed his reaction as he watched it:
If you haven’t already seen it, this is the video he was watching:

omg… that is unbelievable… how did they do that?
on a side note, my boss hated how much i used post-its, which i probably used close to 280,000 during my time there.

I love the fact that you were able to be the first one to show Mr. Fry the video. That must have made you feel great.

The 3M (Post-It) and Apple (iPhone) people should both send you large sums of money!
[and if they do, I’ll accept the customary 10% finder’s fee as I wouldn’t want to insult you]

Thanks so much for posting this! We really enjoyed seeing him see our video! The music was written specifically for the video and isn’t available separately — sorry. Thanks again! - Fritz & Stephen

Wonderful video. Must have really made your week being able to watch the unfolding…

V cool!
I enjoyed watching both videos simultaneously (I synchronised them by matching the soundtrack) so I could see the reactions to specific sections.
Great post.

That was awesome, especially after synchronizing the videos.

What a great guy … that Art Fry! Many years ago,in the late 1980’s, I had an idea for an invention and needed some advice. Art actually asked me to his house for tea and cookies. Best of luck Art, on the new Phrazer … great idea!
