Bubble Wrap was originally formed from two shower curtains being sealed together, and the inventors tried to market this as wallpaper. The next thing they tried to market it as was greenhouse insulation, which was also largely unsuccessful. A year later they discovered its perfect purpose, and the line of Bubble Wrap brand packaging came to pass. It started off on an auspicious path with IBM being the first customer, shipping the IBM 1401 in air-cushioned comfort out to its many customers. Each year Bubble Wrap hosts a ‘Young Inventor’ award that encourages them to find ways to use Bubble Wrap outside of packaging. Whether you need a Bubble Wrap door cover to help you keep out the dents, or a Bubble Wrap cushy wheelchair to ensure your loved ones are safe from every danger, these young inventors work every year to try to create the newest Bubble Wrap rage. I'd rather have bubble wrap packaging then those giant Wotsits that fly around everywhere when you're trying to put them in the bin, but not the giant bubble wrap that won't pop.
i can remember when the kids were younger - presents wrapped in bubble wrap were almost ignored as the bubble bursting got more attention. - tip for new parents, don't waste money on expensive gifts for the under 5's, just get some empty cardboard boxes and some bubble wrap and you're sorted.
There was a bloke at work delivering a roll of the stuff, massive for wrapping the machines. Must have been 2.5 meters tall and probably 100 meters in length. He asked me where to put it, I said pop it in the corner, he's been there for a fortnight. Has anyone seen my coat?
apparently turning the bubbles inward allows the sweat to drain away to be collected for rehydration later
I’ll try that next time and let you know how it goes. It’s a little out of my comfort zone but I’m a bit bored at the moment as there’s not much else to do and no-one around. I suppose I could take my phone in with me in a ziplock dry bag and get Bazza’s number ready in case something goes wrong. Maybe if I stood in the shower and got a plastic tube to dangle down like a giant straw for the sweat I could rehydrate at the same time and thus extend the experience. Hmmm...
Here you are bubble wrap lovers! I’m trying to ignore it or I will never leave the house. In fact I may remarket it as a Lockdown Therapy Kit
