We’ve all popped a few sheets of bubble wrap at one time or another, but what was it originally meant for? Bubble wrap was actually invented to be a 3-D wallpaper.

Now, throw your kids a few sheets of it next time they are getting on your nerves.

If you’ve purchased any sort of red meat from the grocery store recently you’ve probably noticed all he “red juice” around the meat inside the container. I always just assume this was blood from the meat… it’s actually not at all!
