Tax cuts did this. Expect to see much more of this.

I hope they cut there prices as well. 90 dollars for a roll of double sided tape is crazy! Works amazing tho.

Posted it on my cell phone and then lo and behold...'Hey Post-It'...where did I leave my Cell Phone...

Are Romy and Michelle safe?

I won't be surprised if they have decided to outsource the manufacturing to China😢
