Frigits - "Mini Rube Goldberg" toys

P514B
Turn your fridge into a Rube Goldberg display! -

"If you're old enough to remember the classic game of Mousetrap you'll undoubtedly recall its crazily addictive, cartoon-esque maze of chutes, funnels, tunnels and ramps with great affection. Watching a marble meander through a series of improbable obstacles was strangely mesmerizing. And it's just one of the reasons why we think Frigits Deluxe is going to be equally popular. This ingenious, fridge-based plaything has won every toy award going, and is as addictive as it is simple.

Frigits Deluxe Essentially, Frigits Deluxe consists of several marbles and a series of colorful magnetic funnels, tunnels, catapults, spinners and sheer drops that stick to the side of your fridge." [via] - Link.
