who's not excited?!?
BUBBLE WRAP® Appreciation Day!!!
Yup, January 28, 2005 marks the (from what I can find out) 2nd annual Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day. I have no idea what to do, but one thing is surely to pop some Sealed Air Corporation Bubble Wrap® packaging.
The story begins in 1957 in a garage in Hawthorne, NJ with two engineers, Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding. Marc and Al were trying to make a plastic wallpaper with a paper backing. Surprisingly, this product didn't take off. They realized, however, that their invention could be used as a cushioning packaging material. At that time, only abrasive paper products were used for packaging, and they did not suffice for cushioning heavy or delicate items. Marc and Al raised $9,000 to fund a developmental production line. They incorporated Sealed Air Corporation in 1960, and today, Sealed Air is a leading worldwide manufacturer of numerous protective and specialty packaging materials with annual revenues exceeding 3 billion dollars.
Bubble wrap comes in big rolls...
The first reaction of every person is to pop the stuff, like this dumb blonde girl is doing...DOING!
But there are so many other uses for the stuff, like what this guy is doing. Put some on your walls so you don't hurt your tootsies and fingers when you kick and punch opposite ends of your room's walls...
Be a hot model chick and make a bikini out of it...
Sit on it...
Or, just wrap stuff up so you can send it in the mail...like this dog...
Here's some games for ya...
Pop the bubbles while just hovering over them...or just hold down your "Tab" key
THIS one is my favorite. It keeps score of how many and how fast you pop. You can also put it into manic mode.
The rest of the games were kinda boring. For more info, go here
