I like the big bubbles, because they’re louder. POP! POP! BANG! When my high school yearbook staff and I get packages in the mail, there are usually fights over the bubble wrap. pop. ---

Sometimes, I think that all my mom wants for Christmas is her very own roll of bubble wrap. At least it would be a cheap present. Hey, I should go to a packaging store and buy enough for my whole family for Christmas! I hope it doesn’t cost too much! ---

I love bubble wrap, but my dog used to growl at me whenever I popped it. Solution : I gave it to her… She’d be grabbing it with her mouth and as soon as one of them popped, she’d bark, jump backwards, growl at the wrap, then pounce on it and bite again ! It was truly hilarious ! And of course, being a boxer, because I laughed the first time she did it, she does it constantly now ! 🙂 ---

Bubble wrap is divine, truly divine. I don’t know who invented it, but somebody should most definitely build a shrine to him/her. A shrine lined in bubble wrap so the visitors to the shrine can pop one off in tribute. Oh yes. In fact … _ponders and goes to open up google in another window …_ [http://www.sealedair.com/library/articles/article9.html](http://www.sealedair.com/library/articles/article9.html) Well. Looks like it was the American Alfred Fielding and the Swiss Marc Chavannes. And they’re already in the NJ Inventors’ Hall of Fame, but I say, **this is not enough!** I want a shrine, a true temple to bubble wrap, a place to pop and pray! _nodsnodsnods_ Mmm … bubble wrap. For New Years’ eve 1999/2000, I attended a party where the floor was covered in industrial bubble-wrap, and at the midnight mark we all went nuts popping that wrap. Jumping, stomping, running, rolling … it sounded like a thousand machine guns reporting in synchronicity … it was … _sniffles and tears up a bit_ … it was beautiful! Mmmmm. Bubble wrap. _snatches some!_ POP! 😃 😃 😃 ---

My dog gets really angry when you pop bubble wrap near her. I wonder why? ---

Did you know that bubble wrap is the main component in my plan for **Ultimate World Domination**? Muhahahaha. [sub]I’d post a link to the thread that I discussed this in, but the search feature on the board doesnt appear to be working at the moment. [/sub] ---

i figure it would be real funny if the guy in the bubble wrap factory farted into the air intake of the machine that makes the stuff, so when you pop those little bubbles, you get a nice suprise! i know thats what i would do if i worked in one of those factorys!
