Magnetic Fridge

Make the fridge the magnet

Instead of having to constantly buy magnets for your fridge, why not make fridge the magnet? So you can attach bits of paper and whatnot with anything metal - paperclips, beer bottle-caps etc

A handy place to store videotapes and floppy disks, too, if you're anachronistically inclined.

And these wouldnt get damaged by the magnets already on most refrigerators?

[shinobi], this option is rather obvious. With the sudden influx of fridge magnet related ideas, I also thought about posting an idea about an battery powered "insect" that could crawl around the door using magnets.
Fortunately for everyone, I with-held.
