Bubble wrap was invented to be wallpaper. Two engineers in 1957 were trying to create textured
wall coverings for homes when they accidentally sealed two shower curtains together,
creating those satisfying air pockets. Nobody wanted bubbly walls though, so it flopped completely.
Then IBM started shipping their first computers and needed something to protect them during transport.
That failed wallpaper became the perfect packaging material, saving millions of fragile items
worldwide. Next time you pop those bubbles, remember you're playing with rejected
home decor that found its true calling protecting your online shopping.
