Promising review: “These sticky notes are excellent. The colors are quite bright and the tabs are neat and noticeable at any angle. I think every student or teacher should own these, and businesspeople should too. They’re extremely useful for taking down important notes, planning, and generally recording important information in a place that won’t get lost in your planner or notebook.
