Did you know? See all facts Liquid Paper, Bette Nesmith Graham

Did you know that the popular correction fluid, Liquid Paper, was born out of a frustrating typing error? .
It's true. Liquid Paper was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham, a single mother and a secretary in Texas. She understood the struggles of the typists during the 1950s, as typewriters back then lacked delete keys, making mistakes costly and time-consuming.
One day in 1951, inspired by painters who just painted over their mistakes, Graham decided to apply a similar method to her typing errors. She concocted a substance in her kitchen blender that, when painted over a typo, would cover it up. That invention was the first version of Liquid Paper. Graham then started a company from her house named Mistake Out - the precursor to Liquid Paper. By the time she sold her company to Gillette in 1979, it was producing 25 million bottles a year. . So, the next time you use correction fluid, remember the innovative spirit of Bette Nesmith Graham. Without her ingenuity, we wouldn't be able to erase our mistakes so easily.
