I was looking online for some strong magnets to hang a heavy cloth wall covering and found these reviews on Amazon. Got a chuckle out of several of them -- bit of an SNL Happy Fun Ball vibe going on -- and thought I'd share.

Amazon reviews are some of my favorite Americana. I get a kick out of reading what average folks have to say about stuff.

BTW, here is the vendor description of these magnets:

Neodymium magnets are very strong. Handling them with care is necessary to prevent personal injuries, property damages and magnet damages. It's not a TOY! Make sure keep the magnets are out of reach children and pets.

A very polarizing review, but positively attractive.

North Korea has mines where rare earth minerals are mined. That’s where they get much of the money they use for their military.

How the hell has North Korea managed to build a massive military stockpile?

I got some for an experiment that didn’t work out, but happy with the purchase anyhow.
Make the microwave magenetron magnets look like sissies.

Around here we call neodymium magnets “bandaid magnets” because even the “little” ones can pinch off a bite of flesh if you are not careful.

They have been making counterfeit American money for a long time and have gotten so good at it that the experts have a hard time telling it isn’t real. It’s literally better than what we make. It’s their way of getting back at us for who knows what.

It doesn't even take a very large neodymium magnet to completely crush someone's hand:

Here's another source for Neodymium Magnets:

United Nuclear for Neodymium Magnets

I've been using the smaller neodymium magnets for years. BE VERY CAUTIOUS with the larger neodymium magnets. They have the strength to crush all the bones in your hands!
