Post-it Extreme Notes Make Regular Post-it Notes Look Like Loose Leaf Paper

When we first heard that Post-it Brand had released a new line of super durable, super sticky Post-it notes that were supposedly able to survive massive temperature fluctuations and stay stuck to almost anything, needless to say, we were understandably skeptical.

But not so skeptical that we weren’t above requesting samples so we could try it out for ourselves. And so we did. After receiving our box of goodies (complete with tool belt, tape measure, giant permanent marker, and four sets of different colored Post-it Extreme Notes), we set out to force these pitiful looking pieces of paper to run the gauntlet.

Finding ourselves in the Columbia River Gorge outside of Portland, Oregon, for an unrelated field test involving a very new and very cool Airstream, we played around with all the different ways we could test the stickiness. Advertised as being able to stick to everything from brick, tile, wood, stainless steel, PVC piping, copper, plastics, and more.

So what did we stick them to?

We also dunked them in water and attempted to see how easily they tear (not very). Overall, we were extremely impressed with Post-it Extreme Notes. We imagine these would be great for home renovation projects; placing on a grill frame to delineate a vegetarian side and a carnivore side; using in the freezer for labeling frozen homemade soups, stews, and meal prep,; or outdoors during kids parties, garage sales, festivals, and more.

If you need to say something and make it stick, Post-it Extreme Notes are your best option short of a concrete sign.

Why you should take advantage of this free humidor deal from Famous Smoke Shop
Cigars need to stay humidified, or they'll dry out. Sure, you can rehydrate a dry cigar, but by the time you do, it will have lost all its natural oils and complex flavor. It will never be as good as it originally was, and that's a bummer.

The 12 best small cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024

Big cigars take a while to smoke. We're talking hours for some of the largest stogies out there unless you're puffing too often -- which you shouldn't do. But the cigar world is vast, and not only does that mean a ton of different cigar blends, from Maduro and Corojo to Nicaraguan and Cuban-made, but there are also a plethora of sizes from small to big. You don't have to buy, smoke, or even try a massive stogie, and I would argue against doing so for something like the . There are cigars much bigger than that. I can't imagine that would be a relaxing smoke, if at all enjoyable. Shrinking things down is possible, and I'm not referring to a Robusto or petite size either. I mean closer to a cigarillo. If you're looking for something short and sweet but packed with loads of great flavor, here are the best small cigars I've tried and tested in 2024.
The best small cigars tried and tested in 2024

Most of the time, if I want a quick cigar or something smaller, I'll reach for a nub or Robusto size. I prefer a full-bodied cigar and small cigars typically don't provide that. However, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a smaller cigar or cigarillo occasionally. My top recommend is the . They are fantastic. Here is a little more detail about all the small cigars I've tried and loved in 2024.

Liam Neeson's career has been one of the most fascinating in Hollywood history. This Irish screen legend towers over his peers literally (he's 6'4'') and metaphorically (he's starred in Academy Award winners and blockbusters alike.) Neeson started out as a supporting actor in the 1980s before supplanting some of the biggest names in the industry. His rise to first-team status in the 1990s can be attributed to his unforgettable performance in Schindler's List.
