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,

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

Grew up with these and recently found them at some shop; picked up for the kids. I've also seen similar to this but they're catnip.
