According to the Google, today is National Bubble Wrap Day. Back in 1956, two engineers created bubble wrap by sealing two shower curtains together creating a smattering of air bubbles and thought their creation would make a great wallpaper! However, sales for the wallpaper never materialized. Today, bubble wrap's primary purpose is to protect fragile items either in shipping or storage. Of course, people also take enjoyment from popping the bubbles in bubble wrap, too.
