What’s That Popping Noise? It’s Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day

Most packaging should be seen and not heard with rare exceptions that include on any occasion film-enclosed rows of small pockets of air, aka bubble wrap. That’s because the iconic packaging is made to protect and pop, though not necessarily in that order according to some devotees.

Which brings us to today, January 31, celebrated as Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day. We’ve collected an eclectic mix of posts on Twitter where bubble wrap is top of mind — and well appreciated. After all, no one ever said packaging couldn’t be fun, and often it is.

Is an appreciation day even necessary? Not according to this avid fan.
