The 5 Best Ways To Pop Bubble Wrap
When you are shipping something in boxes and packaging, everybody knows that the best box filler is bubble wrap. Here are the six best things to do with this magical substance:
1. The Classic Pop: This is the way they did it in the old days – grabbing the plastic in between your fingers and squeezing. What’s better?
2. The Wrap Pop: This one is not for neophytes. Wrap the wrap around your hand, and with one stealth move – babam! Pop them all!
3. The Walk Pop: Take a long sheet of bubble wrap and walk all along it! When the popping slows down, pick it up for inspection and pop each and every last one.
4. The Digi-Pop: Ah, the wonders of technology.
5. The Carpet Pop: Roll that bad boy up like a scroll or a carpet and twist it like you’re James Brown! When you’re done, unroll and repeat with a different section.
And for the trivia mongers out there, bubble wrap was developed in 1957 when the Sealed Air Corporation attempted to create textured wallpaper. I guess you could have jumped into the bubble wrap wall and stay unscathed, but eventually you’d want a fresh sheet of bubbles! Good thing it turned into boxes and packaging wrap for corrugated mailers.
