I have some learned some things this week.

Firstly, it’s not called Blue-Tac, it is called Blu Tack.

I have an old packet of Blu Tack that I have had for many, many years. Probably over a decade; I don’t recall purchasing it. I don’t use it much. Blu Tack never seems to be sticky enough.

In fact, I tried to use it recently, and its lack of stickiness (tackiness?) frustrated me. I did some searching.

More relevantly, Blu Tack has a shelf-life of only two years!

Emboldened, I discarded the unused portion of my old Blu Tack, went to the supermarket and bought a fresh packet of blueish-greyish sticky goodness!

…

It isn’t any stickier.

Let that be a lesson for us all.
