People are only just realising the real reason Blu Tack was given its colour
Blu Tack was created accidentally in 1969 at a Bostik factory in Leicester when a failed sealant experiment yielded a sticky white substance that workers used to attach notes.

Social media users reacted with surprise at the product’s origins, while Bostik highlights Blu Tack as a heritage brand that grew in popularity through advertising and word of mouth.
