Geocache Description:

Bring your own bubble wrap!

9:30 am to 11:00 am
Pot Luck treats

In 1957 two engineers. Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes started out trying to make plastic wallpaper. They did not succeed. What they ended with was the world’s most addicting invention, bubble wrap.

All are invited to participate in the
Ninth Annual Celebration
of Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day by popping.



Amusement


Because bubble wrap makes a recognizable "popping" sound when compressed and punctured, it can be used as a source of amusement and to alleviate stress. Acknowledging this alternative use, some websites provide a "virtual bubble wrap" program which displays a sheet of bubble wrap that users may "pop" by clicking on the bubbles.


"Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day" is celebrated on the last Monday of January.
