In honor of National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day – which falls on the last Monday of every January— we’ve decided to express our feelings on the wonders of the one, the only… Bubble Wrap. Keep reading to see just how deep our feelings go for this pliable, pop-able, packaging MVP…
Oh, Bubble Wrap,
There you are, rolled up neatly,
Just waiting to be torn off into packable sheets.
Your plastic magnificence guarding all our customers hold dear,
Constructed with wondrous pockets of air,
Just longing to relieve one’s stress with a simple squeeze.
“POP!”— the sound you make,
When the family dog paws you with amusement,
and toddlers and children alike jump atop your numerous air bubbles.
“SMASH!”—there go the breakables
Left vulnerable without your cushioning touch,
Another expensive valuable left unprotected, meets its shattering fate.
How we adore you, sweet, sweet Bubble Wrap,
In all your packable forms,
Keeping beauty within the unbroken.
And oh, how you move us!
Just as we move others,
Performing your duty most nobly…
And upon expenditure,
Retiring gracefully in the recycling bin,
Just waiting to be born again.
