Bubble wrap was originally invented as wallpaper
Can you imagine how little you would get done if there was bubble wrap covering your walls?
Engineer Al Fielding and Swiss inventor Marc Chavannes probably didn’t consider that when, in 1957, they invented bubble wrap while trying to create a textured wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together to trap air bubbles.
Fortunately, the partners soon realized that their invention was much better suited as a packing material.
