Facts about bubble wrap
ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE WAS AS WALLPAPER.
In 1957, in an attempt to create a textured wallpaper, engineer Alfred W. Fielding and Swiss inventor Marc Chavannes sealed two shower curtains together in such a way that air bubbles were captured, giving the wallpaper a textured appearance. But customers weren’t buying, so Fielding and Chavannes switched gears and began marketing it as greenhouse insulation instead; that, too, proved to be a failure.
