Fun Bubble Wrap Facts

· Bubble Wrap was originally designed to be wallpaper.

In 1957, engineers Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes crafted Bubble Wrap in Hawthorne, New Jersey. Originally conceived as wallpaper, it found success as greenhouse insulation before evolving into the protective packaging we know today.

· Bubble Wrap has a whole day dedicated to it.

Every last Monday of January marks National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day in America. This quirky holiday originated when a Bloomington, Indiana radio station unwrapped microphones on-air, delighting listeners with the satisfying pops of Bubble Wrap. The rest, as they say, is history!

· Bubble Wrap is actually proven to reduce stress.

Believe it or not! According to a Sealed Air survey, just one minute of popping Bubble Wrap can relieve stress equivalent to a 33-minute massage. So, don't forget to indulge in some bubble-popping therapy next time you unwrap a package!
