The winners of the 1996 "How Krazy Glue Saved the Day" contest, Don McMullan and Sharon Bennett of Clearwater, British Columbia, used Krazy Glue to get themselves down Robber's Pass when their 18-wheel semi-trailer's engine cooling fan separated from its rotating shaft hundreds of miles from the nearest service station in the middle of the night. They put six drops of Krazy Glue on the two metal pieces, held the parts together securely for three minutes, and were back on the road for another 80,000 miles.

During her highly publicized disappearance for four days in April 1996, Margot Kidder, who costarred with Christopher Reeve as Lois Lane in Superman movies, lived inside a cardboard box with a homeless person in downtown Los Angeles while suffering a manic-depressive episode.

'When you're having a manic episode,' she says, 'you don't always remember to pack the Krazy Glue.'"

Remember the Krazy Glue TV ads with the guy in the hard hat stuck on a girder's underside? I remember one ad where a woman uses the stuff on such a guy because she's mad at him breaking promises to her ("fixes everything except promises" she says).
