Science Puzzle #1

After Mr MacDonald's wife made him give up his used chewing gum collection, MacDonald decided to start collecting fridge magnets. Eventually, he had enough to cover the entire fridge, much to his wife's dismay.

After several failed attempts to get rid of them, she finally gave up until one day, their fridge broke down. They looked at dozens of fridges, but finally settled on a top-of-the-line stainless steel model with two doors, icemaker and the works. MacDonald was reluctant to spend so much on a fridge till his wife told him to imagine how great his fridge magnets would look on it. That was all the motivation he needed.

However, once the fridge was in, he soon realized his wife had fooled him, and he would only be able to imagine his collection on the fridge from now on. But why, what had she done?
