42. Bubble wrap *

I love this stuff! And I know I’m not alone, either.
My favorites are the big bubbles. The little bubbles are okay, but the big bubbles are softer to my fingertips, and I like the way they feel.
I’m not saying I don’t like the smaller bubbles–their sound is really nice–but they are sometimes hard to pop and I always end up squeezing my fingers together too hard so that my fingertips get sore. What fun is a pointless activity like popping bubble wrap if it gives you sore fingers? I thought you’d agree. 
Sometimes, I like to just wring the bubble wrap like a towel. This makes a barrage of popping noises, like Rice Krispies, but the down-side is that your toy is all played out in a few seconds. It’s like lighting a string of firecrackers.
When I’m thinking or just really bored, I like to pop each bubble individually, listening to the sound and seeing how I can change the tone. This is more like un-stringing a pack of a hundred Black Cats and lighting one, tossing it. Lighting another, tossing it.

Hehe I love this too! After reading the first paragraph I thought, “yeah the small ones are hard to pop sometimes though” LOL that was almost the very next sentence

@daniel: I KNOW! So great. And I think it’s pretty cool that we’re on the same wavelength here with the best bubble size.
@tabitha: Um, cool! Thanks for sharing that link! I might have to get me one of those.
