Simpsons Fridge Magnets

Conor Bourke

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!

Conor Bourke

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

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 prefer the orignal thread, not a fan of this remastered deluxe edition thread

davetherave

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

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!

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.

This thread has been edited to include the link, so NOW which one wins?

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...

Sorry dude!

I get caught up in movie lingo sometimes and have little regard as to the sex of who I'm talking to.

It's a serious problem that I'm attempting to fix every day.

Conor Bourke

Merged! Hooh-rah!

Ehhhh ok! :rolleyes:

I wasn't expecting families to model themselves on the Simpsons, I was merely pointing out a mini-cultural phenomenon that I've observed in hundreds of family homes throughout Ireland.

not like panini stickers; they can be removed people.. just turn on the TV n the memory will never leave ya. i recall channel 4 took massive criticism for 'dumbing down' by showing simpsons.. remember they were on 3 or 4 stations simultaneously? those were desperate times

Dude you're missing the point entirely. If you were any further out you'd be a lighthouse.

Please take your rant elsewhere.
