Souvenir magnets have a fun backstory of their own: flexible fridge magnets emerged when manufacturers began blending barium ferrite with a plastic binder, using a clever "Halbach array" magnetization pattern that concentrates the pull on one side. That flexibility turned magnets into an ideal souvenir format — cheap to ship, easy to display, and endlessly collectible. By the 1990s, magnet collecting was a bona fide hobby, with record-keepers noting collections in the tens of thousands of pieces. A Dubuque-themed magnet carries on that same tradition of bringing a piece of home to the fridge door.
