In a few minutes, you can tear one apart and remove the two rare-Earth neodymium magnets that are used to read the data. These are <i>extremely</i> strong magnets, so strong you have to be careful not to pinch your skin when they snap together. With practice they are tons of fun, and they hold a <i>lot</i> of stuff on a fridge. I've done this myself and they have many uses (like getting a metal screw out from under the fridge).
