An Ode to Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap, you're really neat.

The invention of you was quite a feat.

Whenever children see a sheet,

parents know they have a little retreat

from wiping noses and making snacks,

now that bubble wrap's got their back!

But it's not just kids who love bubble wrap.

Even the most serious adult's been known to tap

a thumb against the bubble wrap, to hear that satisfying 'snap!'

If you don't have any bubble wrap handy, here's a link to virtual bubble wrap. Once on the page, click on the underlined sentence, "Pop some virtual bubble wrap now."

Did you know that popping bubble wrap is a stress relief technique? The corporate offices at Sealed Air, where bubble wrap is a trademarked brand, have stress relief boxes filled with bubble wrap for the employees to pop.
