Virtual Bubblewrap

Everybody loves bubblewrap. I think it’s impossible for bubblewrap to remain untouched. Make an experiment, if you will. It’s one popular toy, both for children and adults.

Enter the Japanese. They decided that actual bubblewrap was inconvenient, and not always available. So they came up with a gadget to replace it: Virtual Bubblewrap.

Virtual Bubble Wrap

Of course you have a 1:1000 chance to get a special version with a heart-shaped bubble. I guess it wouldn’t be Japanese if it wasn’t Kitschy on some level.

The virtual bubble wrap was designed by Bandai with help from the bubble wrap company Putiputi. You can order your own virtual bubblewrap online.
