Simpsons Fridge Magnets

    I've been in my current job for almost 2 years now, and it involves doing home visits, averaging about 15 houses per week.

    One thing that I've noticed in numerous homes around the country are those Simpsons fridge magnets that were given away in Kelloggs cereals about 12 or 13 years ago. I think it was then, as we had a new kitchen fitted at home in 1998 and it had the fridge door built in to the same doors as the rest of the units so we couldn't put them on our fancy shmancy new fridge :(

    They always make me smile, it's funny because most kids who were of age to have collected them are long gone from home now but yet the magnets are still there. It reminds me of the craic we had as kids, fighting over the "collectors" items in cereal packets over the years. God help my poor parents who I'm sure would've bought cheaper supermarket brands if they could always got the cool stuff for us.

    Anybody else still have them on their fridge at home? Who's got all five?

    I have all 5, always confused as to which order to put them in though!


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 17,426 ✭✭✭✭Conor Bourke


    Ok sound, let the other one die off so, I don't mind- whichever!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭xoxyx


    But the other thread has a link and this one doesn't! Heckle, heckle. Bring back the other thread!!

    I don't have those particular ones, but I do have some that came with jars of nutella in the early 00's. We had all five of them but Maggie split in two at one point, although she stayed on the fridge for years. The pieces went missing a few months ago, it doesn't feel right with her missing! :(

    I only ever got Homer or Lisa :(
    Still have them on the fridge though :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,806 ✭✭✭Rothmans


    Oh Lord, I remember those.
    I think we still have about 2 on our fridge. We once had all 5.
    It took ages to get maggie or Bart though if i recall correctly. Oh the excitement of opening a new box of rice crispies only to be disappointed by yet another Homer or Marge.

    Come join the good fight my friend. Thread wars FTW! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    I have a Homer, two Lisas, and a Marge on my fridge.

    The Homer magnet has a 'Copyright 2002' on it, and I remember getting them when I was 10, so it's definitly 2002. Unless they were released in the late '90s as well. :)

    I remember getting a Bart rubber when I was a kid. It completely erased all pencil marks, but left a big yellow streak across the page. Could never get it to stay on the fridge either... :(
