Nothing compares to the satisfaction and stress-relief of popping every single bubble on a fresh sheet of bubble wrap. Someone finally caught on to the universal guilty pleasure and made a product to feed it!
Japanese toy company Bandai came out with this fun keychain a couple of years ago called PuchiPuchi -- it's designed to infinitely mimic the sound and feeling of popping little plastic packing bubbles. In Japanese, Puchipuchi is the sound of a little pop and also the name for bubble wrap. Their catchy slogan says it all, “Anytime, anywhere, forever…you can puchipuchi." In addition to the obvious bubble-popping attraction is:
the bonus sound effect the toy makes every 100 pops including “door chime”, “barking dog”, “fart”, and “sexy voice”. To add even more excitement to the craziness of Puchipuchi, there’s a 1:1000 chance that you’ll get a “puchi lucky” toy that has a heart-shaped bubble.
Not coincidentally, PuchiPuchi is also the name of the bubble wrap company that Bandai paired up with to design the toy, so you can be sure you've got a reliable product. Thanks Scout Japan for the trend research!

Time to get a couple gross to make up the long-awaited puchipuchi mattress!
I just want to know what "sexy voice" sounds like!
I think I remmeber getting a birthday present of wrapping bubbles from some girls that understood the joy of the pop!
I also remember 'popping parties" so to speak, with many fingers (and feet) popping as quickly as possible amidst big smiles and laughter. Kathleen
