I get pretty hot when...

I read...ABOUT THIS!

"Infinite Bubble Wrap: Mugen Puchi Puchi" by Yukio Obata

Bubble wrap is addictive! A distracting amusement for some, a stress reliever for others. Whether it's the texture or maybe the sound that it makes, most people inexplicably enjoy popping plastic bubbles! Mugen Puchi Puchi is a Japanese key chain toy designed to mimic the sound and feeling of popping bubble wrap… Infinite bubble wrap! What bliss!

The flat, square gadget looks like a five-centimetre square of bubble wrap. It features eight bubbles and comes with seven colour variations: white, green, red, blue, pink, orange and black. The toy is produced by the Japanese toymaker Bandai and was first released at the Tokyo Toy Show in June 2007. Although it’s not an exact replica, pressing the surface of the toy will generally produce the sound and tactile feeling of popping bubble wrap. And, of course, it comes with a twist! The Japanese are quite fond of improbable coincidences, such as tea leaves floating vertically in their cup like tiny jellyfish (a sign of good luck). So, when it comes to popping bubble wrap, they are fascinated by the rare possibility of popping a bubble into a heart shape. Manufacturer Kawakami Sangyo claims that this happens once every ten thousand times with real bubble wrap..."


Oh. My. Gawd.
I am complete.
Please buy me this product. (Xmas is coming...and I don't have all day.)
