'Pop' icon Bubble Wrap celebrates 50th birthday

My friend is quoted in the article:

Katherine Howard, a Massachusetts artist, tied Bubble Wrap bows to the chairs for her wedding last May and had guests participate in a popping contest. Not surprising for a woman who put up a virtual Bubble Wrap site in 1996 and is known as the Web's unofficial "Bubble Wrap Lady."

"We tried to find the most useless thing we could put on the Internet, and Bubble Wrap is a completely tactile experience," Howard said with a chuckle. "But it's something that everybody enjoys."

One detail they left out was the groom's cake also being decorated in bubble-wrap-print icing. Here's her site: http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/

Happy popping!

I could have used this excuse earlier today when I accidentally stepped on a sheet of bubble wrap in the middle of a quiet office...

I would have done it on purpose. Repeatedly.
