Is it possible to leave magnets in the refrigerator

Do you have a magnet on the fridge? An affirmative answer to this question is much easier to obtain than a negative one. It’s even more difficult to find a person who does not have and has never had a single picture on the refrigeration unit.

Although in the days of our mothers and grandmothers there was no such tradition.

REFERENCE! Fridge magnets appeared in the 70s of the last century, in the USA.
Their manufacture was patented by William Zimmermann from Louisiana. And they depicted the first decorations of the heroes of popular cartoons.

Why do we hang them on the fridge?

Nowadays, few people buy a magnet for themselves. But for a gift they are purchased often and in large quantities. New Year or March 8, returning from a trip or a sign of symbolic attention to guests of a wedding celebration - the magnet will always help out. And it does not require large expenses, like other souvenirs.

That's how we all became involuntary collectors. And these collections are constantly replenished.

REFERENCE! The largest collection of magnets totals more than 30 thousand copies and belongs to the American Louise Greenfarb, who lives near Las Vegas.

Magnets rarely have practical applications.

• Their main purpose - holder. A recipe or a note to relatives, a calendar or a reminder for yourself will be securely fixed in a visible place. And they certainly will not be left without attention!
• Masking external defects of the unit. A small scratch or dent can be hidden with a bright picture.
• An opportunity to take a child. Images of numbers and letters, vegetables and fruits can even be useful for the development of the baby.
• Decorative decoration - one more explanation. Some pick them by color or shape, spread them on the door in the form of patterns.

But most often they are stuck randomly, and when the collection becomes too large, they look completely unattractive.

Really to shoot?

Do you know that innocent magnets have serious opponents? They strongly oppose such a decor. And do not consider him so innocent.

Such allegations are cited as opposed.

• One of the main statements was called harm from generated magnetic fields. Horror stories that bright jewelry makes products dangerous are still found on the Internet. Interesting thing is that serious scientists did not confirm this. BUT aggregate manufacturers have taken care of the added safety of the structures.
• Danger to people with pacemakers - But this is serious! Excessive amounts of such jewelry, gathered in one place, can affect the functioning of the stimulator. In this case, the solution is one: remove!
• Cleanliness and order are also not best combined with this type of decor. It is required to monitor them carefully, it takes a lot of time, and attention is often not enough.
  • Well, if we talk about beauty, we must admit that A random cluster of magnets can hardly be called a decoration of the kitchen.

Well, now decide for yourself whether it is worth leaving all those magnets that are economically located on your refrigerator? Maybe at least half of them can be eliminated?
