Today please take a few minutes to wish a happy brithday to Bubble Wrap, which officially turns 50 years old today.
Don't get too excited. This is just a picture and is not actually a sheet of plastic air pockets.
Whether you use it primarily for packaging or for funsies, Bubble Wrap has no doubt changed all of our lives. A product of the Sealed Air Corporation, which was founded in 1960, it was conceived by Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes. Congratulate them if you see them.*
*Don’t look too hard for them; they are likely dead.
