Trivia: Experimentation with textured wallpaper led to the invention of what?
Double-sided tape
Bubble wrap
Post-it Notes
Velcro
The correct answer is Bubble wrap
So why is this answer correct? : In 1957, inventor Alfred Fielding and chemist Marc Chavannes created a unique textile using two plastic shower curtains. They intended to use it as wallpaper but realized it wouldn’t work for that purpose, so they tested it in other ways, including in greenhouses, which also proved to be a failure. After Fielding’s 5-year-old son started popping the plastic “bubbles” on the product, they realized that it was best used as a packaging product, and Sealed Air Corp. was founded in 1960.
