We suddenly wish we were in middle school again. Ok, minus the teasing and homework. But were we in grades 5 through 8, we would be eligible to take part in a Bubble Wrap contest! Isn’t that reason enough to digress to your pre-teen years? No? Then just spread the word and let the real kids know about the contest.
Sealed Air Corporation, the creator of Bubble Wrap (it was originally intended to be wall paper), is having a contest to encourage young people to be, well, creative with Bubble Wrap. Your kid (or neighbor or student or whatever) could get cash and a trip to New York. And you, the person who gets the young one to submit their Bubble Wrap creation, could get a $500 gift card.
Since you are most likely not eligible for the contest, just go have some adult fun with Bubble Wrap. PG adult fun, that is.
