Did You Know?

Did you know that it's officially Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day? Seriously. It's every last Monday in January. I heard it on NPR, so it must be true. I'm wondering what's next: Tin Foil Appreciation Day? Cardboard Appreciation Day? Post-It appreciation Day? (Actually, I do really appreciate those.)  The possibilities are endless!

So, apparently bubble wrap is 50 years old. It was originally designed as -- get this -- wallpaper. Brilliant idea. You'd have to re-paper a room every time your four-year-old went in and popped all the little blisters.

Sorry, bubble wrap, but it's true.
