When Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes tried to design a fancy, cleanable plastic wall paper with bubbles in it (Bleech! I’m so happy that product was not realised!), they did not know what they had found.
Three years later they founded the “Sealed Air Corporation”, converting air into cash. And besides its advantages for packaging fragile things we buy on eBay it is a wonderful stress relief. The soft feeling of power if a bubble pops and the innocent sound the dying bubbles make when they collapse! I could spend hours … No, minutes. Seconds.
It’s actually boring to be honest. Buy colored Bubble Wrap, visit the Classic Virtual Bubble Wrap site, read the company’s history, watch Bubble Wrap TV, (made for marketing a virtual company) or meditate about the bad aspects of this foil.
