The Bubble Calendar

Left alone with a sheet of bubble wrap, we'd suspect 9 out of 10 people would eventually fall to the enticing allure of the tactile pleasure and satisfying sound of popping bubble wrap. Something about those darn plastic bubbles beckon our fingers to compulsively squeeze...

Taking advantage of this psychological desire, the creators of the Bubble Calendar offer a date reminder which owners are likely sure to remember to mark off daily...and with satisfaction. Available in both horizontal and vertical versions, and backed on clear acetate or on white paper, the real danger in owning one of these is skipping ahead and popping all the days in one sitting (this wouldn't be a safe bet in a household with children).

ooo neat!! but yeah, i'd probably pop them all in the first two minutes... then in the days to come i'd feel too guilty to even look at it.
but that's such a cute idea!

this is a very nice idea. the kind that makes me feel good about being human.

non-recyclable plastic trash? sorry, that's all i see here.

I have to agree with akostalas on this one. I could see making one of these if I bought something that came in bubble wrap packaging, thereby saving it from the landfill for at least a while longer. But I can't see buying one of these just to use as a calendar. Seems wasteful.

I don't care if it's non-recyclable. I NEED THIS

i would have to pop them all at once. and you can't tell me the little boy in the photo wasn't thinking the same thing!

Oh yeah, AT, that's a really green solution.

I think a year would be a bit much, buy it'd make a great modern Advent/Xmas Calender!

I don't like it.
