Everything - including bearings - sticks to them without fail.

It's a flexible magnetic sheet, typically cut to business card size, handy for making refrigerator magnets, but also available in larger sheets. Stick em on the bottom of jar lids from tomato sauce (or Nacho dip). Stick 'em on the bottom of cheap food storage containers, like the semi-reuseable ones from Glad etc.
