It was, at my house.


p.s. The bubbles are inflated with the dying breath of fairies. Seventeen thousand fairies have to die, for each sheet of bubble wrap.

2. Kid? I just spent 15 minutes outside popping some that protected some
medication.

I did it away from the building this time... last time I did it, I was near the electric meters, and the lady upstairs thought there was an electrical fire or something. oops!

5. That wasn't bubble wrap; that was blister foil.
Apples and oranges, darlin'.

4. Dude, popping that shit still feels like Christmas.
Especially the kind with the really big bubbles.

8. Yes! The big ones kind of went *boom*!
I used to bite wads of the little ones with my teeth, so they'd pop in my mouth. Yeah, someone will take advantage of that comment, but I'm leavin' it.

7. no, but that seems only fair, in that fairies drink human tears so it...

13. There used to be this crap called 'Funnerworks'
a "safe alternative to fireworks." One of the "alternatives" was a sheet of bubble wrap for kids to jump on and make firecracker noises. :eyes:

14. I'm 27 and I still love playing with it. I almost gave Gran a heart attack
with.

I grabbed some bubble wrap, and held it in my hand while my grandmas back was turned. Then I told my brother to pretend like he was cracking my neck. I popped just as he moved my head and it sounded like chiropractic cracking. She almost died lol...well, not really but she was pretty upset.
