The inventor of Post-Its is a fan of Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion

Turns out the glory stealing went over well with the real inventor of the ever-present office supply, scientist Art Fry, who spoke with Vice about Romy and Michele’s fake claim to fame. Fry says he’s seen David Mirkin’s film “several times” and “really enjoyed it,” even when he hears Michele (Kudrow) spit out a fake “recipe” for Post-Its adhesive. That’s because he’s the one who wrote that gibberish. And when the opportunity arose for an “apology” from Sorvino, Fry waved it off, because it was, after all, just a movie. But he remains very much invested in his product, telling Vice that he is surprised by how the little slips of paper “unlock the creativity of so many people.” Fry notes their use in cars, office buildings, and, most touchingly, by “elderly folks [who] have told me that they can still function as wives, mothers, and grandmothers because they use little notes to remind them as their own short-term memory fails them.” Please, don’t cry into your cheeseburgers and Diet Cokes.
