| | Bubble Wrap® http://www.sealedair.com/products/pr...es/onlysac.jpg
"Some say...Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We're flattered!
But the fact is that Bubble Wrap®, a registered trademark of Sealed Air, is often used incorrectly to describe all air cellular cushioning material. As a trademark, Bubble Wrap® only describes Sealed Air® air cellular cushioning material.
The Bubble Wrap® brand provides the assurance of quality and performance in bubble cushioning offered only by Sealed Air. Bubble Wrap® protective packaging employs a "barrier layer" which retains air...providing superior, longer lasting protection over other brands.
For maximum value specify Bubble Wrap® cushioning from Sealed Air. Ask for the best and accept nothing less." I found that information at the Sealed Air Corporation's website.  |

That's a gooder!
One of my friends bought like 100sq meters of the stuff. We spent days popping it untilly we finnaly got the great idea to get a huge section of it, weigh it to the road with rocks, then drive a car over it! Omg that was cool sounding!
Of course, this was done late at night,
or early in the morning depeding on how you look at it

| | Another mystery of life solved, I am so glad I read this thread. Otherwise I would never have known about Sealed Air. I would have spent my life in ignorance. I shudder at the thought of the potiential horror my life could have been without this knowledge.
As a kind of non-sequitur, my cat was found wrapped up in bubble wrap, in a cardboard box, in a dumpster, when she was just a 4 week-old kitten. I personally belive the deprivation of oxygen to her brain explains a lot about her behavior.
Speaking of dumpster, did you know: "Dumpster" is also actually a name brand. Not every garbage containment unit is in fact a Dumpster. It's true.
Something akin, I imagine, to the Kleenex phenomenon. Another name brand that has been carelessly tossed around, such that every average, poor-quality, run-of-the-mill, even GENERIC *gasp!* tissues are called "kleenex." The horror  I think they ought to round up everyone who's ever trampled upon copyrights and trademarks in this fashion and clap them in jail! That's what I think!!
*the men in clean white coats come to haul Der-draigen away*

@Aegis It depends on your perspective, I would think

For me, it is Aegis himself that gives me the shivers, but your mileage may vary.

Actually, a bag of sealed air came with my new computer case and motherboard. I looked at it and saw it was made by the Sealed Air Corporation. THen I noticed there was a URL, so I checked it out.
Hm...Yeah, I do have too much time on my hands.  |
