At the risk of feeling stupid, I'm gonna admit that I wasn't all that young when I had this misconception -- after all, bag clips or chip clips haven't been around all that long. Anyhow, I used to be really puzzled about bag clips with magnets on them. The magnets are never strong enough to hold a bag on the refrigerator with any substantial amount of chips or other content in it. So I wondered why they bother to put magnets on the clips if they aren't strong enough to hold a bag on the refrigerator. Eventually I realized that the magnets are to hold empty clips on the refrogerator so they'll be convenient for when you need to put one on a bag, not for hanging actual bags on the refrigerator.
