According to this story ‘improvements’ will see that the new bubble wrap will not pop.
I feel that this may be some sort of conspiracy.
Opal must be spinning in her grave.
Stuff has been around for a few years…I think we’ve even had threads about it. It is depressing and evil, and ultimately, in my opinion, more wasteful. At my store, any bubble wrap we receive in shipments is saved to be reused when we ship out orders…which are generally smaller boxes. We rarely recycle the non-poppable stuff because it can’t be trimmed down to fit and it really isn’t very flexible. It can’t be wrapped around delicate items or stuffed into smaller spaces. I watched the machine filling the wrap at our warehouse…I understand the need for it, to save space, but I really hate it.
ISIS must be behind this. I propse we mail the company glitter.
The problem I see with this is that one single little puncture and the whole thing becomes mostly useless for protection.
I just hope Monk does not find out about this. 
Bubble wrap that doesn’t pop has to be a violation of one of the articles of human rights.
This is UNAMERICAN!
Just one more example in a long littany, where the old advice must be heard and followed:
When you find a product you like, buy a lifetime supply because they will stop making it.
Same as with incandescent light bulbs.
Pat Robertson warned us we would be punished if we allow the gays to get married.
There’s always this, if withdrawal becomes too much of a problem.
Is this the result of a dog conspiracy? Well, let’s just say you should enjoy home mail delivery and vacuumed carpets while you can.
How crazy! There’s nothing wrong with the current bubble wrap. :mad: :eek: :smack:
And what’s to say this new bubble wrap will be as cheap, or as protective, as the old stuff?
Sure there is. Between the arguing over whose turn it is to pop it and the time no one can concentrate on his work because of the god-awful POPPOPPOPPOPPOPPOPPOPPOPPOPPOP TEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE! there’s at least two man-hours of productivity lost for every package that contains it.
But it can be quite fun and amusing to pop the bubble wrap when you don’t need it anymore? 
You are right though, I wouldnt be able to concentrate if someone started popping bubble wrap near me.
However, will this new bubble wrap be more expensive to buy?
You can’t buy it unless you are a shipper. Each piece is inflated to order, and the inflation-machine is expensive. The point is to avoid shipping giant truckloads of new bubble wrap around the country.
I understand they will still make traditional bubble wrap for consumers, but maybe I’m wrong.
I do believe that is Opal’s app for Virtual Bubble Wrap. If its not, it is very similar.
Oh, it’ll pop alright. If I have to take it to the firing range, or wrap it around explosives (hmm, bubblewrap vs. fireworks…) it WILL pop. Satisfaction must not be denied.
They sure as hell better. Otherwise, I may just have to stock up on it.
