Disappointing Timer

The Trudeau Magnetic 60 Minute Timer operates very similar to any other wind up kitchen timer with a seemly useful feature added to it. In case the name didn't give it away, it's magnetic. Where, may I ask you, are most magnetic devices in the kitchen found? Survey says vertically attached to the refrigerator. Okay, now, everyone, start cooking something, wind up your Trudeau Magnetic 60 Minute Timers, place them on the refrigerator, and leave the room until you here your timer go off...

Well, I certainly hope you all had a fire extinguisher handy and didn't burn the whole house down before making it this far into the blog. The Trudeau Magnetic 60 Minute Timer works just fine horizontally but, given enough time, fails vertically.
