Today is the 11th Annual Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, according to the folks who make the stuff. Here are their proposed Super Bowl uses for the packing material: · Bubble Wrap Football: The Bubble Wrap football provides hours of in-door pseudo-pigskin passing pleasure while safely protecting your 50" flat screen.
· Celebration Mat: A layer of Bubble Wrap under your feet might just make you the most poplar fan at your celebration.
· Cold Beer-Soda Cozy: Question: who likes warm beer? Answer: No one. That's why a Bubble Wrap beer/soda cozy is a must have for the big game!

Bubble wrap is great. I saved it for years and wouldn’t have been able to move house without it and newsprint (unprinted newspaper paper).
OTOH, packing peanuts are a curse and a scourge.
The virtual BW is okay, but the real thing is soooo much better.

Mom was a bubble wrap addict, so when she passed I left a little piece of it with her in her coffin. I'm sure she approved.

True, Velcro, or “hook and loop fastener” is also a great invention. Invented by a Swill guy who after walking his dogs through a field noticed the burrs sticking to his pant cuffs, put the burrs under magnification and saw the little hooks on the burrs. From what I read, it took him something like 17 years to get it into patent and production.
