yes but the question wasn't when they were invented its when did they first sell in stores...

Carp:
I apologize I didn't look at the question closely enough lol, but I did some more research and here is some of the info i found.


"Unfortunately, the information our research department originally obtained from 3M regarding when Post-it Notes were first sold was incomplete.  As a result of new information we have received from 3M, we feel it is only fair to give our contestants, Gabe and Brittany, another shot to play 'Million Dollar Money Drop' even though this question was not the deciding question in their game.  The revised information regarding the Post-it is as follows: the product was originally tested for sale in four cities under the name 'Press 'N Peel' in 1977, sold as 'Post-its' in 1979 when the rollout introduction began and sold nationwide in 1980.  We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the viewers who brought this to our attention, and we're thrilled to give Gabe and Brittany the opportunity to return to play the game."

tl;dr
post its sold in 4 cities 2 years prior to the walkman, now they are getting a second opportunity on the show.
