What The Heck Are These?

Malithion · Oct 31, 2009, 06:48 PM

Went to Apple today for my repair and they were handing out Halloween "bookmarks". It's a blue thing with a white apple logo with magnets at both ends (?), and is useless as a bookmark, and wont stick to the fridge. I don't get it poor kids...

Does the magnets stick to eachother? Maybe that's how you use it as a bookmark, wrap it around the page you're on.

Kinda, I just tried it and it was stupid lol, and one side sticks to the fridge and the other repels.

If the magnets stick to each other, could they be some sort of wristband or something weird?

Thats what I thought, but the magnets are really weak, they barely stick to each other.

My girlfriend is sure they're bookmarks, but why the magnets and not just the paper part?

I assume they fold in the middle? If they do they are probs bookmarks. You're meant to fold them over the page your on, then the ends stick together through the page(s).
They're just fancy bookmarks.

Why aren't they halloween colors?

Phone the Apple store and find out the next day there open and report back!

Looks pretty nice! Sell it on eBay!

Maybe it's a Kindle bookmark.

Yeah I'm sure they're meant to be bookmarks. They fold in the middle (they're pre creased), but the magnets are so weak it's best to keep it straight.

I'm just going to use them as ghetto refrigerator magnets with one magnet holding one side up as the other sticks. Will check ebay
