Review: Super fun! - If you are on the fence about these, buy them! It’s so fun to see what little messages my family has left on the fridge. I also bought 2 packs of extra words and they are so fun.
Review: It’s Still a Classic. Brilliant. - I had this set as a 20 something bachelor. I’ve just bought it for my 20 year old daughter as she moves into a university house. The words are cleverly chosen so you can write innocent poetry, funny messages, or highly suggestive sentences without being crass. A solid addition to any young people’s shared house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this stick on a whiteboard?**
A: Hello 

Thank you for your question.

These stick to our whiteboard but our whiteboard is metal-backed. I suspect most whiteboards are metal-backed but there may be some that are card or wood backed. In which case these will not stick.

The simplest way to check is to see if a magnet of any description will stick to your whiteboard. If it does then these should as well.

I hope this helps.

**Q: Will these magnets hold up photos?**
A: Hi Jennifer. No, they won't. You may have some luck with multiple magnets on a photo, but they're not intended for that.

**Q: Do they scratch a stainless steel fridge?**
A: Hi Elrond, apologies for a tardy response. In my experience growing up, I don't recall them ever scratching stainless steel fridges. However, I do not have any recent experiences with this exact situation to give you a definite answer. What I can offer you is information that they do not scratch my white painted fridge and they do not scratch or streak the whiteboards at school. Sorry I cannot give you a 100% answer about the stainless steel fridge but hopefully these similar situations help with your decision making process.

**Q: Is there a set of magnet words that have the theme of household chores?**
A: Hello Brandon

Thank you for your question.

Unfortunately, we do not stock any household chores poetry sets. The closest we have is probably the Office set (ASIN B00092R6J2).
