    		I went fishing for an inventor's name...but, it appears that the company owned the inventor(s) at the time of Blu-Tack's creation because I can only find credit given to the Bostick Company.

    "Thanks to Dave Ward of the Bostick technical dept, I can exclusively reveal...Blu-Tack was invented in 1969 and introduced to an eager world in the early 1970s."
