Huh. I guess I’m the only asshole that loves this stuff. Bubble wrap annoys me because it takes up so much more space in the garbage than it needs to. The unpoppable bubble wrap is great because you can lay it down flat and run a box-cutter along it once and instantly deflate all the bubbles. ---

Rolling an office chair over a piece of bubblewrap is one of my joys in life. This is an abomination on par with styrofoam peanuts. ---

That’s when I’m forced to go online and pop some [virtual bubblewrap](http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/popnow.shtml). Thanks, OpalCat. You will be remembered every time real bubblewrap disappoints. > [@CalMeacham](#): > > “unpoppable” bubble wrap sounds like a great thing for _inducing_ tension. But some people will just see it as a _challenge_. There’s long been the abomination of unpoppable bubblewrap that looks like regular bubblewrap, but when you pinch a bubble, it goes _fssss_ instead of POP! Fuck that shit. It’s the ED of the bubblewrap world. ---

I can’t even imagine non-poppable bubble wrap, nor do I approve. When I gets me some bubble wrap, I go all Monk on it. Imagine giving some to _him_. ---

Unpoppable Bubble wrap is not a good thing. Popping bubble wrap is fun. ---

I just ran into this unpoppable horseshit tonight. I would have been more confused, if it hadn’t been for this thread, so thank you for that. On that note: I now heartily endorse this pitting. ---
