    Once-at a now defunct department store-they actually sold small rolls of this labeled as stress reliever. Pop the bubbles. I bought some for my sister. It didn't work. She's still an ass.

    You win this time. I could've known, but I didn't. I've been defeated.

    I didn't know that Farrah Fawcett was in playboy - I do realize that is not the point of this bubble wrap page.

    Alfred Fielding looks like he could be the love child of Jimmy Carter and Prince Charles.

    Fact number 5: I've been calling for an international bubble wrap day for years. I feel that it would bring people together.

    I remembered getting excited about Farrah being in Playboy. Didn't know she did another shoot, this time with the wrap. I was a boy when that famous '77 poster was released...so imagine harboring a crush for so long. ;)

    Every time I see bubble wrap, all I can think of is the "tension sheet" bit from Red Dwarf :D

    Bubble wrap is one of the greatest stress busters I know of. Could pop that stuff all day some days. Farah should have wrapped it about her head!

    I think bubble wrap as fashion will be all the rage next year. It certainly beats mom jeans.
