50 years of pop, pop, pop...

who knew!?!
bubble wrap turns 50 this year!

did you know that, aside from pictures of rolls of bubble wrap, one of the most common images that comes up when you search for bubble wrap is a woman in a bubble wrap bikini? makes for a not-so-work-appropriate search...

anyway!

"The product once envisioned as a new type of wallpaper turns 50 this month, and enthusiasts' obsession with it has spawned 250 Facebook pages devoted to Bubble Wrap."


yes, because nothing says legitimacy like facebook groups... and if not that, then an iphone app!

"Then there's the true badge of hipness: A bubble-popping application for Apple's iPhone. A piece of Bubble Wrap appears onscreen and you pop as many bubbles as you can in 45 seconds."


i actually played this on a friend's super-phone and it was appallingly addictive...

Bubble wrap hits 50
A genuine pop, pop, pop culture icon
