This stuff was somewhat popular among my friends 20-30 years ago, and like many trends disappeared. But it was pretty cool. Basically you got 100 or so little words in little magnets that you could arrange to make something different, even ChatGTP good.
I stumbled across a magnetic poetry set at a thrift store. Then I learned the fridge in my house was not magnetic.
Did you or your friends like this stuff?
Could it make a comeback?
How would the “Donald Trump” edition sell?
I have a set somewhere and had a lot of fun with it for a while.
The people who like Donald Trump generally don’t like poetry, and the people who like poetry generally don’t like Donald Trump. You’re left with the gag gift market, pretty much, and not much of that. Maybe Spencers would stock it, next to the penis balloons and the t-shirts about having the “Tism”.
My teens had a set. My old fridge was covered with them. This fridge won’t take magnets. Yay! I tend to turn things into collages. So it gets messy looking quick.
But the kids would place the word tiles into the most awful messages. It became a contest who could make it more outrageous.
Later I had a whole bunch of orphan Scrabble tiles(found a big ziplock full at a flea) I stuck magnets on. That was fun.
I got a set back from a museum gift shop some 30 years ago. It was fun for the family for a couple of months, then was forgotten.
Not Trump specific but this is basically the same:
One of the English teachers at school has a bunch of these on her whiteboard. Given the differences in font, it looks like at least two or three different sets. And students do seem to play with them.
Who the heck makes fridges that aren’t magnetic? I mean, everyone magnets things to their fridge.
