It was the biggest treat in the world when I was a kid and my grandfather would visit with a few sheets of bubble wrap he picked up at work. We'd take our shoes off, put the bubble wrap down on the floor, and...*POP*[/size] *pop*[/size] *POP*[/size] *POP* *pop* *pop*[/size] Well, if you had, you would have been loath to wrap yourself into anything else.Smurf said:

Wait a minute! How are you supposed to protect your bubble wrap during shipment? Thank you BobG, I am starting a petition to make the senseless popping of bubblewrap a felony.BobG said:When the useful life of your bubble wrap finally comes to an end, it doesn't have to wind up in a landfill.
