Those magnets in pods are strong. Seems wasteful to just throw them away with the pod. However, I assume it would require smashing the dead pod with a hammer, but might work.
Little magnets like that, I’m not sure what all they maybe useful for, but an interesting history of commercial mini magnets: There was a brand called “Bucky Balls” which was a set of small magnets to be like a fidget spinner. However, the USA decided they would be a choking hazard for kids, so made selling them illegal.
So if you do save your magnets, don’t let kids swallow them. But post hear if you know or think of any use for these little magnets.
That’s a great observation! The magnets in pods are surprisingly strong, and it does feel a bit wasteful to throw them away. While smashing the pod open isn’t the safest method, it’s interesting to think about ways to repurpose them.
Bucky Balls were definitely fun while they lasted, If anyone has creative ideas for reusing these small magnets, definitely share them here.
Maybe DIY projects, organization hacks, or even vape-related mods? Would love to hear some thoughts!
I usually just throw them away and never really thought about saving the magnets in pods. But it’s definitely a great way to reduce waste and save resources! I’ll consider doing that in the future!
Hi Carlton that’s definitely thinking outside the box awesome I generally just bin the used pods can’t see me going about carrying a hammer but great thinking and a good use for those magnets could be using on a screwdriver whatever when removing small screws so screws stick to screwdriver.
