Bubble Wrap® Appreciation Day is celebrated every year on the last Monday in January. Despite the attempts of imitators, there is only one Bubble Wrap®; a product which has transcended its intended use of protecting valuables to become a "pop" culture phenomenon.

Bubble Wrap® brand cushioning is most recognized for the satisfying release and gleeful joy that comes with the popping of each plastic cell.
