I've had these around since I was a kid but just recently realized what it's used for.

What do you think it is and what is it used for?

*edit. got it. It's a magnet that's forced down a cow's throat so that if they eat metal debris then the magnet keeps it in their stomach.

I've played with these magnets since I was a young'n and I just realized what they were used for last week. You get them back after the cow is slaughtered.

That's pretty funny.

It is but knowing that we're facing having to deal with what led to such an invention is troubling.
