We are impressed with the new Frixion Pens, we think they’re clever, really clever! We congratulate our friends at Pilot, someone there is pretty clever!!

Back in the early noughties, 3M had the idea to investigate how people used sticky tape. They concluded that the average length that a person would cut a piece of tape was 5cm. (How they found this out is a subject for another blog – stay awake at the back!)
