On the lighter side, today is the official National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.
Originally created as a new kind of wallpaper (go figure that one out), 2010 is the 5oth anniversary of bubble wrap.
The last Monday of January is now U.S. Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day every year.
Over 200 pages on facebook are devoted to bubble wrap, and millions of people's lives have been forever changed by this amazing product.
Are you a bubble wrap afficionado?
