They're Taking Away the Best Part Of Bubble Wrap - NOOOOOOOO

Hate to burst your bubble, but there's a new form of Bubble Wrap coming out - and this one won't pop.

Sealed Air, which has sold Bubble Wrap since 1960, has a new version of its protective wrapping coming out called iBubble Wrap, according to the Wall Street Journal.

When it's sold, it's flat and airless. This makes it easier to store and ship. A single truckload of iBubble Wrap can hold as much packaging material as 47 truckloads of the old stuff, the Journal said.

iBubble Wrap is inflated with a custom pump by the companies that use it as shipping material.

The air bubbles in the new wrap are filled in columns and the bubbles in each column are connected. If you press one, there's no "POP!" like traditional Bubble Wrap.

Instead the air just shifts around in the column bubbles.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The North Carolina company have told the newspaper it would still make traditional Bubble Wrap, and other companies will undoubtedly continue to make similar packaging material that pops. THANK GOODNESS.

But if the new stuff takes off, the Bubble Wrap we all know and love could become a lot less common... and eventually, all we'll have left is Virtual Bubble Wrap.
