Good News For Bubble Wrap Fans. The Pop Will Go On

Don't grab those tissues just yet; your precious bubble wrap isn't losing its pop. Not right now anyway.

There have been several reports about the iconic packing material (read: guilty pastime pleasure) undergoing a makeover. Sealed Air Corp (the company that makes bubble wrap) had announced a new kind of wrap which wouldn't... hold your breath... pop.

Not surprisingly, news of the death of pop spread like wild fire. Those who have whiled away many a happy hour popping a sheet realized they only had the last few remnants of bubble wrap to cushion this blow.

#BubbleWrap soon to lose its pop. And I'm about to lose my head here! Little by little, life is losing all its fun!

So there's nothing to be afraid of, silly. All's still good with the world. Now go pop your heart out.
