Velcro

Swiss electrical engineer George De Mestral came up with the idea for velcro while walking his dog. De Mestral was fascinated by the ability of cockleburs to cling to his clothes and his dog's fur, and went on to develop a fabric that would stick to itself in the same way. Velcro wasn't appreciated for a while, until NASA made it popular in the early 1960s.
