Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day

What is it about those tiny, air-filled plastic bubbles that makes them SO satisfying to pop?!  When a shipped item arrives at the door wrapped in bubble wrap, it’s usually more exciting to pop than it is to open the parcel.

Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day is for all the fans of this therapeutic packaging.  Originally created as a way to protect fragile items during transit, bubble wrap is also prized for its fun and oh-so-compelling popability.

Just try to pop one and be done… 😉
