BUBBLE WRAP APPRECIATION DAY
Monday 29 January 2018 @ 7pm UNTIL 7:30pm
Unley Oval
Langham Terrace, Unley
(near the picnic tables under the shelter)
All are welcome to attend, but what should you expect?
I will provide some of this bubbly stuff for you to play with at 7:15pm sharp....there may be a dance; there may be some music; there may be a short song to sing; and there may even be a bubble wrap tree to climb.....OR...... there may just be some 'therapeutic' group time where we can relax with geo-buddies and do some synchronised popping! (if you have any of this at home and you want to share, the more, the merrier)
History of Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day:
Ok, ok… So it’s not INTENTIONALLY a toy, but the truth behind Bubble Wrap is perhaps even stranger. You see, Bubble Wrap was originally formed from two shower curtains being sealed together, and the inventors tried to market this as wallpaper. It’s perhaps sad that this wasn’t actually successful, who knows how many cases of extreme anxiety could have been solved if all you had to do was pound your walls for a little relief?
Ironically, this wasn’t the only misstep on its way to its true calling, the next thing they tried to market it as was greenhouse insulation, which was also largely unsuccessful. A year later they discovered its perfect purpose, and the line of Bubble Wrap brand packaging came to pass. It started off on an auspicious path with a computer company being the first customer, shipping a computer in air cushioned comfort out to its many customers.
