When the NLS used to send talking book records that were hard like albums,
they used to put bubble rap over the records. When ever I got those as a
kid, I would pop the bubble rap. I'm sure they weren't happy with me. It
was fun though and as the post said, it was a wonderful stress releaser.

Has anyone out there ever spent way too much time popping bubble wrap?
Isn't it so addicting? It's also such a great stress reliever! Today I
have
some fun facts about this popular packing material...
RANDOM TIDBITS
Every year, Sealed Air, the makers of bubble wrap, produces enough bubble
wrap to stretch around the world 10 times.
Bubble Wrap was originally marketed as a type of three dimensional
textured
wallpaper. It didn't catch on.
One minute of popping bubble wrap provides the same amount of stress
relief
as a 33-minute massage.
In 1957, two inventors got the idea for bubble wrap by sealing two shower
curtains together, creating air bubbles between them.
Bubble wrap's usefulness as a packing material wasn't discovered until
1961
when it was used to ship IBM's fragile new computer systems.
The current world record for the most people popping bubble wrap
simultaneously is 942 people.
