My best friend growing up bought one of those "100 lb. " magnets from a magazine for $15. It was one of those super strong magnets that...you guess it...can supposedly lift 100 lbs. So, I come over, and he goes WATCH THIS! He then proceeds to STICK IT TO THEIR REFRIGERATOR. Yep...it stuck alright. It stayed there for a good two years too :D They ended up throwing out the 'fridge with the magnet still attached.

The End.

That sort of thing you slide off, duh. Magnets aren't that great at shear pressure.

Though you may have to hit it with a hammer from the side.

They are notorious for that, along with shattering.

They're fun toys, but a little on the dangerous side.

busted open a hard drive for the magnets inside a couple of years ago, so I had some experience with them, but these things are more fun than those 2 pieces I got from the HD :D

Ill post some pics after work

Probably would have done severe damage to the side of the fridge, they're not designed to withstand force like that.

plus depending on the size of the magnet, it may have been difficult to get a good grip on it

That is a very good question?!

Can you imagine getting this above your foot on a metal floor? Flat foot would be an understatement.
