Super Happy Fun Hour

Whether you've a Christmas bonus to spend or you're planning for next year, consider this fun-filled potential stocking stuffer: infinite bubble wrap. I confess to being easily amused and unable to walk past bubble wrap without deflating its purpose… but this commercial suggests a cultural difference far beyond anything I've previously encountered. But hey — if popping plastic from dawn til dusk brings tears to your eyes, all the more power to you. I wish I could be so entertained for only 819 yen!
Tip of the hat to old friend AliTak!

LOL! I once had a bubble wrap "application" on my Palm PDA! The screen graphics weren't bad, and you got quite a satisfying "pop" when you tapped on a bubble. But it just wasn't the same as the real thing! :-)

There are online bubble wrap emulators, too — but unless I can grab a sheet and twist it for multiple simultaneous poppings, it just ain't good enough!
