Today is National Bubble Wrap Day!

These days, people use it for shipping or to have fun popping its bubbles!

But two engineers envisioned it as wallpaper when they created it in the mid-20th century.

The National Day Calendar says they later tried to sell it as greenhouse insulation.

Then, the wrap really got popping when IBM used it to ship computers in 1961.
