Sorry to Burst Your Bubble!

Today, believe it or not, is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.  This versatile, remarkable packaging material has been was invented in 1957 by engineers Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes. They sealed sealed two shower curtains together, creating a smattering of air bubbles, which they originally tried to sell as wallpaper! When the product turned out to be unsuccessful as wallpaper, the team marketed it as greenhouse insulation. It was not until a few years later that its use in protective packaging was discovered. Bubble Wrap's first client was IBM, which used the product to protect computers during shipment.


But  as we all know Bubble Wrap's most important function is to provide endless hours of mindless entertainment for the idle minded.  So, to celebrate Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, why not burst your bubble today!  Enjoy!
