Super Elastic Bubble Plastic (date unknown, likely 1970s) (media.piefed.ca)

It made bubbles of, per wikipedia,

polyvinyl acetate dissolved in acetone, with ethyl acetate plastic fortifiers added. The acetone evaporated upon bubble inflation, leaving behind a solidified plastic film.

Which looked like,

Super Elastic Bubble Plastic

And here's a 1970's commercial. Especially headphone users, would recommend starting low and easing into it.

Still can get the same thing, not the same brand/packaging though. My kids got these as cheap party favors several times a few years ago.
