In 1957, the men who created Bubble Wrap, engineer Al Fielding and Swiss chemist Marc Chavannes, originally intended to make a 3D wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together in a way that captured air bubbles between them. After the wallpaper idea was a bust, the men also tried (and failed) to market Bubble Wrap as insulation for greenhouses.
Four years later, Frederick W. Bowers, a marketer for the company that manufactured the product, had the idea to use Bubble Wrap as a packaging material to protect IBM's new 1401 model computer, and it caught on quickly from there. Today, over $400 million worth of Bubble Wrap is sold annually.
