Bubble wrap氣泡袋, a sheet of thin plastic filled with air bubbles, is one of the most common packing materials. Before it was invented, people used balled-up弄成一團 newspaper to safeguard items during shipping. But it was messy髒亂 and didn’t offer that much   21 protection   . Bubble wrap solved these problems and was a “godsend天賜的” for the shipping industry. However, the invention of bubble wrap was actually quite    22 accidental    .       Originally, bubble wrap was created in the late 1950s by two engineers for use as a wallpaper that would appeal to the young postwar generation. They placed two pieces of plastic shower curtain through a heat-sealing machine to create the texture. But the result was   23 disappointing   . What turned out結果是 was only a plastic sheet with trapped air bubbles in it, far from the material they had intended to produce.      However, the inventors did not totally   24 dismiss   their failed product. They found that their invention could have a different use. The air bubbles created excellent cushions 墊子緩衝器;減震墊 to   25 reduce   shock, perfect for packaging and shipping fragile items. To market this invention, the two engineers   26 founded   a company in 1960 and named their product Bubble Wrap. Meanwhile, IBM, the leading computer maker at the time, needed a safe way of packing their   27 delicate   electronic devices for transit. They found bubble wrap to be the answer to their problem. That opened the door for a lot of other businesses to start using bubble wrap. During the 1970s and 1980s, the company branched into分支成 creating more packing products. Bubble wrap has since evolved into different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses 厚度for   28 expanded   applications.      Besides using it for shipping, people find great joy in popping發出砰(或啪)的響聲 those air-filled pockets. Some are even   29 addicted   to doing it—always needing to have just one more pop. Scientific research has found an explanation for this phenomenon: The simple   30 act    of popping helps to release muscle tension and take the mind off a stressful situation. From packing material to a therapeutic有療效的 tool, bubble wrap has come a long way since its original purpose as wallpaper.#take ~off消除
