As someone who relies heavily on visual reminders, I was excited to try the Mr. Pen Sticky Notes. The bright neon colors immediately caught my attention, and the price for 12 pads seemed like a steal.

In practice, I found these sticky notes to be a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the colors are vibrant (though not as neon as some expected) and they do help grab attention when used around the house or office. The adhesive works decently on paper surfaces, and I appreciate the variety of colors in each pack.

However, I did notice some issues with sticking power on non-paper surfaces like walls or monitors. Some notes tended to curl after peeling them off the pad, and they didn't always stay put as long as I'd like. While they're not terrible, they don't quite match up to name-brand sticky notes in terms of adhesion quality.

The quantity is generous for the price, making these a good option if you go through lots of sticky notes and don't need them to stick permanently. They're especially great for temporary reminders or creative uses like kids' crafts - one reviewer mentioned their children loved using them for origami projects!

Overall, these are solid budget-friendly sticky notes that serve their purpose well for basic note-taking needs. Just don't expect them to replace premium sticky notes for heavy-duty or long-term applications.
