We all love the pure satisfaction of popping a fresh sheet of bubble wrap, but its original purpose will completely blow your mind! 🤯📦
Bondy steps back up to the microphone for another cracking edition of That’s Slightly Interesting, arming himself with a bizarre piece of design history. Back in 1957, two inventors weren't trying to revolutionize the shipping and packaging industry at all—they were actually trying to create a textured, easy-to-clean plastic wallpaper!
Unsurprisingly, the wallpaper idea was an absolute flop, but a brilliant pivot turned it into the packing global powerhouse it is today. The story is so good it secures Bondy a legendary, back-to-back unanimous 3-Yes sweep from Simon, Lana, and Speedy!
