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.
The air bubbles in iBubble Wrap are filled in columns, and the bubbles in each column are connected. Press on one, and there's no cathartic "POP!" as in traditional Bubble Wrap. Instead, the air just shifts around in the column of bubbles.
The North Carolina company told the newspaper it would still make traditional Bubble Wrap, and other companies will undoubtedly continue to make similar packaging material that pops.
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.
