26. Visitor’s comment I have heard a story about these scissors, where the colour of their plastic part is a result of the prototype process in which they used some leftover pieces of plastic that happened to be orange, the orange that afterwards was used… is that story true? Comment left at The Secret Life of Objects. “ Answer from museum’s staff The story is true. Fiskars had made a juice extractor before that. The juice extractor used orange plastic that accidentally ended up on the scissors handles when the first syringe was chosen. Workers were involved in the decision, and the colour orange was chosen for the handles. Comment left at The Secret Life of Objects. “

From the stand in the museum visitors could leave their own comment, or else from home. Comments then were on-line and on-site, in the gallery, because we printed them and stick to the walls.
