What a good idea! They'll stay stuck until they're ripped off even if
they get wet. I want me some of them!

The article said that women like them too, I forget why. It was in
the biz section of the 10/6 Mnpls Star-Tribune.

They're not yet on the Band-Aid website, but It'd be a hoot if they have
little silhouettes of hand and power tools printed on them, like the
kid's Band-Aids with cartoon images.

Waitaminit! They're not on the Band-Aid website because they're not made
by Johnson & Johnson. And they're not labeled "Band-Aid" because that's
J&J's registered trademark.

Looks like 3M, another big conglomerate is the one making 'em:
