Tacky Magnets Reviews

May 08, 2007
Ok, let's see if this usless hobby of mine is about to pay off. Vances threw down the gauntlet, and was promptly spanked by Amanda. Let's see if 2 cross country trips can give me an edge! I have 3 things I look for when I go to a new place.

1) magnet
2) shot glass
3) spoon (these I give to my Mom.)

For the same reasons Amanda gave. They are cheap and easily portable!

There, is that enough for now? (It's a wonder my freezer door doesn't fall off!)

Walt

Well, it's been almost two weeks now...no challengers to my 82 magnets?
I only listed the ones on my freezer top, so as not to discourage any potential challengers...but there don't seem to be any more, so I guess it is safe to publish the rest. (The fridge door and side wall were not included in the count...yet!) I guess I am the master of overkill, but watch for "TACKY MAGNETS, PART II"

Amazing! I used to turn my nose up at tacky magnets, but seeing your collection has inspired me to be kind to them. I love how it turns your fridge into a passport!

I can send you some from Utah, and from Michigan when I go to visit my parents in July :)
