The story begins in 1957 in a garage in Hawthorne, NJ with two engineers, Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding. They did, however give a short history of its origins … I’m thinking David should keep his day job. Lots of folks appear to be fans of the stuff.ĭavid Sharpe & The PapaHugs Band have even written a Bubble Wrap Song. Well, that was satisfying … I’d give it a 9 on the stomp-meter, but only a 3 on the sound-meter. Et voila!įirst I found some big bubble wrap. Next the film is laminated so that the holes stick together and the air bubbles are trapped. Once its makers have the right kind of film, suction is applied to a drum-covered layer of film with holes punched into it. However, it’s not as easy to make as it is to pop! There are lots of stages to go through before the right material has been made. The little perfect plastic popper paper, perhaps? Who comes up with this stuff anyway? The BWAD folks say: I mean, how often do we get permission to go back to our childhood and stomp on bubbles? So I looked all over the house for some bubble wrap. To participate fully in the moment. The other part is that crazy pop-pop-popping sound that it makes.Īnd yes, there really is a whole day devoted to Bubble Wrap … Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day … or BWAD to you popping aficionados. Oh, sure … The stuff that theoretically exists to protect things in shipping?īut we all know it is really around just to make us happy by relieving stress.Īnd stomping on it is just part of the thrill.
