Babysat two young ones. We pulled out the bubble wrap and stomped them to music. Think that's how POP! Music began.
Seriously it's hilarious to bounce and pop them . Good foot therapy too !!

Yes I am a popper of the bubble kind!

LOL. Fun to see so many poppers out there.

We need to train our neighbors to give us their leftovers.

Actually, DH doesn't like to pop, but that's to my benefit so we don't fight over the wrap.

I used to when I was a kid. But as an adult, I sometimes sell things that I need to ship, and I have moved a bunch of times (and will move again at least once more) and so the practicality of NOT popping the bubble wrap is that I will have it to reuse.

We hoard boxes and packing material, to whatever extent we've got the space, just for these reasons around here.

Careful folks, this is how it starts... Next thing you know you'll be arrested for hopping the fence at an Amazon distribution center to raid the dumpsters, or pilfering your kid's college fund and heading to some seedy side of town to score some "wrap"...

Some of the wrap is quite large now, the strips with pillow like sections the size of a rectangular pastry give off quite a report that could sound like a firearm when popping. I had to forego popping these as they scared my poor cat half out of his fur and all the neighbors would duck or seek cover...

I used to lay it on the floor and roll over it in my office chair with wheels. Of course, that was at work.

Yeah, the big rectangle ones are not as fun. Seems they are using more of that style now. The walnut-size ones are perfect for snapping!

But I might take your advice next time I see an Amazon distribution center....hmmm.

I like it. I used it to keep my hands busy when I quit smoking. I even had it on my lap when I was driving so when I was stressed I could pop it instead of lighting up.

I read they are going to stop making the poppable kind altogether. That makes me sad!
