If you can't remember what film rolls are for, never fear because they have been given a new purpose as Recycled Film Roll Magnets. Realizing this great opportunity for upcycling unused old-school camera film, the Photojojo company "rescues" discarded film rolls from photography labs all over the United States and repurposes them as magnets to be sold in its online store.
An extremely strong neodymium magnet is placed within the walls of the canister so that from the outside, it looks like a plain old film roll, but in reality it can be used to stick all your favorite photos to any magnetizes surface. Soon to become incredibly cool retro technology, you should stock up on some Recycled Film Roll Magnets before this photography medium can only be found in museums.
