Sister company have invented tasteless candy. Still terrible for your teeth, and goes straight to the thighs, but without any of that delicious taste.

    The inventor was bullied at school and honestly I can see why.

    Pro: it's actually a good package fill, because it doesn't pop easily.

    Cons

    • It's not fun.
    • It costs more.
    • It's still plastic trash.
    • You still have to slash it to minimize the space it takes up in the trash.

    Anything can pop with sufficient pressure.

    So I realize this is a shitpost but I've noticed that too and couldn't help but wonder why that is. My guess is that it's because bubble wrap is made to absorb and smooth out peak forces when things are bumped around. By letting the air out slowly the bubble wrap now more effectively does it's job even when it structurally fails.

    The ones I have seen have the bubbles connected in pairs and have less air in them.

    This gives each air bubble a larger surface area to spread the pressure over, and with a lower pressure over all it means that you have to squeeze both connected bubbles at the same time and harder before they pop

    It's like humanity wants to accelerate towards nuclear apocalypse times and drag everything in its wake

    We are drawn to war and its cruelty and our own destruction as a feature of our primate species. It will always be so. And likely for many more evolutions of future primate species, far into dark outer space in hundreds of thousands of years of future.

    It's because this kind can be shipped deflated and easily filled by the shipper using a small desktop machine that inflates it from the edge. That way they don't have to pay to ship and store giant rolls of mostly air. It quickly pays for the cost of the machine.
