That looks even better than duct tape for holding things together.

I’d be happy enough to be the one who invented Velcro. (Or Post-It notes, for that matter.)

Who invented Velcro ® brand hook and loop?

Velcro ® brand hook and loop was invented by a man named George de Mestral in the 1940's while hunting in the Jura mountains in Switzerland. Mr. de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, discovered tiny hooks on the cockleburs that were stuck on his pants and in his dog's fur. Under the scrutiny of the microscope, he observed the hooks engaging the loops in the fabric of his pants.
