It's BubbleWrap Appreciation Day!

[Panich52]

Bubble Wrap isn't just a necessity when shipping fragile items, it's also fun, and today is National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.

Bubble Wrap was invented in 1957 by two men who were attempting to create a three-dimensional plastic wallpaper. Their idea didn't quite work, but the inventors found that what they had created could be used as packing material and founded the Sealed Air Corporation instead.

Because Bubble Wrap makes a satisfying sound when popped, it has become a source of amusement and a stress reliever for many. And if there isn't any actual Bubble Wrap around, there are smartphone apps and websites that offer simulations of the popping nirvana. Two of those websites include www.puffgames.com/bubblewrap and www.snapbubbles.com.
