Speaker 2: So much. Okay, guys, did you know? Did you know

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: that bubble wrap was originally invented in nineteen fifty seven

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 2: by two engineers who sealed two shower curtains together, creating

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: a smattering of air bubbles. And it was initially intend intended,

6
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: initially intended to be wallpaper. Can you imagine if bubble

7
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: wrap was I mean, I would just like go people's

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: houses sliding down a wallpaper. It would'd be crazy. But

9
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: that's originally what they wanted to do was sell bubble

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: wrap as wallpaper. The two shower curtains stuck together, they

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 2: realized their product could be used for protection and packaging,

12
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 2: and then they founded the company in nineteen sixty. Uh.

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: The inventors showed the product to IBM, who had just

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: launched the first mass produced computer, and they decided I

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: did to be the first client. Uh And the company

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: still exists today, by the way.
