Did you know that the first refrigerator magnet patent was obtained by William Zimmerman only in the early 1970s’. Zimmerman patented the idea of small, colored, cartoon magnets to be used for decorative display and convenience. Before that nobody even knew such a thing, and now it can be found in everyone’s home!
Used to post items or simply as decoration, refrigerator magnets come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and are popular among collectors – for example Louise J. Greenfarb of Henderson, Nevada, has over 32,000 different refrigerator magnets!
It is estimated that now magnets are used on at least 80% of household refrigerators and most households view their fridge door over 40 times per day.
