The Laughably Unexpected Origin of Bubble Wrap

Did you know that bubble wrap, the beloved poppable packaging material, was originally intended to be... wallpaper?

Yep, you heard that right. Back in 1957, two inventors, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, were trying to create textured wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together. Instead, they ended up with sheets of air bubbles trapped between layers of plastic. While their wallpaper idea didn’t quite catch on, they quickly realized that their creation had great potential as a packing material. Imagine having bubble wrap walls – your stress relief would be just a wall away!
