Why Is Bubble Wrap So Satisfying? (It Wasn't Made for That!)

[supermax_thelion1]

Did you guys know bubble wrap was originally invented as wallpaper? Yup, that’s right! The stuff we love popping was meant to decorate homes back in the ‘50s. Glad that idea didn’t stick. Anyway, I’m curious, have any other products we use today had completely different original purposes? This has me thinking how accidental genius happens!

Wow, that's such a fun fact! I can’t believe bubble wrap started as wallpaper—imagine living in a house with that! It’s wild how some things we love today were meant for something totally different. I’ve heard that Post-it notes were originally just a failed glue experiment! It’s amazing how accidental genius can lead to things we can’t live without!
