What do your refrigerator magnets say about you?

I'm not sure if I have more than 52 items on my fridge, but I do know I could dump a bunch of that stuff. I don't think the alphabet magnets should count against you.

I'm not sure if I have more than 52 items on my fridge, but I do know I could dump a bunch of that stuff. I don't think the alphabet magnets should count against you.

The number of items you have stuck to your refrigerator indicates whether you have a cluttered home or an uncluttered home, according to UCLA social scientists.

Social scientists at UCLA have written a book about “Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century ($25, UCLA Costen Institute of Archaeology Press). The book says that the more cluttered your fridge is with coupons, calendars and other stuff, the more likely you are to have a cluttered home.

According to the October issue of Food Network Magazine, the average family fridge has 52 things stuck to it, but they don’t indicate if that is high or low.

I tend to layer things. Also do alphabet magnets count as multiple items? That’s definitely hurting my average.

How many things do you have stuck to your fridge? It is more or less than 52? Does it accurately reflect how cluttered your house is?

so many pet peeves – despise the “my child is an honor…” or anything related to child, any stick figures, fish, anything political, and the worst is the “I love my wife” sticker. Make me wonder what the poor husband did to have that sticker, and if he did that willingy, what a total wuss.

I do, however, have a vanity plate!
