It’s always interesting to see an invention that has been around for quite some time applied to other products, creating something unique and even convenient. Take these marvelous magnetized innovations, for instance. Magnets have become a given in society, a staple that is used quite frequently, even if we don’t realize it ourselves. Yet it’s used in many things other than as decoration on fridges.
