    So I realize this is a shitpost but I’ve noticed that too and couldn’t help but wonder why that is. My guess is that it’s because bubble wrap is made to absorb and smooth out peak forces when things are bumped around. By letting the air out slowly the bubble wrap now more effectively does it’s job even when it structurally fails.

      The ones I have seen have the bubbles connected in pairs and have less air in them.

      This gives each air bubble a larger surface area to spread the pressure over, and with a lower pressure over all it means that you have to squeeze both connected bubbles at the same time and harder before they pop

    Sister company have invented tasteless candy. Still terrible for your teeth, and goes straight to the thighs, but without any of that delicious taste.

    I’ve already gotten bubble wrap like this in packages before – years ago.

    It is indeed an awful, horrible product.
