Ode To Bubble Wrap

In today's day and age when everyone is quick to prescribe a pill, let's think of an age old product that can relieve stress, cheer you up, make you smile and over all send you to a happy place.  That my friends would be called bubble wrap... 

The uses are many and there is fun to be had by all!  Often people don't look past the typical and most common use for this wonderful product.  It is so beyond a package material!  It not only keeps your packages safe from breakage while being mailed.  It can save a LIFE!  You read that right, bubble wrap saves lives!  Trust me on this one!  

Mondays can be stressful enough, add on top of that bitchy co-workers, annoying neighbors, rude clerks, this list goes on and on.  Just turn to the bubble wrap!  Pop a few, pop the whole damn sheet.  Pop until you feel better.  Pretend the bubbles are the heads of those annoying you!  BONUS!  



  

I can honestly say that I have never had to purchase bubble wrap.  And it is kind of exciting to open a package and find some! 
As long as the kids have not seen it, I usually pop a few and then put it away.  Saving the pops for when really needed!  You know that if and when the kids find it, it's all over.  They show no restraint when it comes to the popping.  They will pop your entire sheet in the blink of an eye.  Then what will you do?  


And maybe this is just me, but I get annoyed when someone else is popping bubble wrap.  Especially when it is mine!  The sound is not nearly as pleasing, and quiet frankly it's annoying as hell.  I can handle it for a minute, or for a few good pops.  But then it must stop!  That is MY free therapy they are popping.  I receive no benefits from others popping the bubble wrap.  

Of course it is also just fun to do, there does not always need to be stress.  Although it is a calming distraction, you can make it a functional piece of material.  For example:

Don't have anything to wear out on the town with that special someone?  Do you want a one of a kind original?  Well...Try a bubble wrap dress!  If there is a lull in the conversation, just start popping the dress to pass the time!  Interchange belts to create a whole new look!  

The night out went well and now it's wedding time!  Once again, not to be outdone...a one of a kind wedding dress!  Beautiful and functional!  When you are done, it "packs" well...

A few years after the wedding, you can be that overprotective mom!  Chances of injury are greatly reduced with this ensemble! You can also apply it to their heads and make a helmet of sorts...

And last but not least, if you do choose to dress with bubble wrap then you might want to look into the intergalactic space suits and cover all of your clothing needs...Zoltan approved. 





So, that is it in a nut shell...bubble wrap is fabulous!  And if you doubt me, well then just take his words for it...

And last, but not least:
