Mugen Pop Pop Infinite Bubble Wrap Toy Hits the US
12:30PM Jason Chen | The previously Japan only Mugen Puchi Puchi bubble wrap toy is now available in the US for $US5.99. It’s available in four colours: cold sore pink, pea soup green, dying of exposure blue and cadaver grey. It’s fun, yes, but the sound effect unfortunately doesn’t sound all that much like the *POP* of a real bubble wrap bubble and more of like a generic sound effect speaker noise from a handheld game you played in 1985. You do get a fart, barking dog or door chime sound every 100 pops, which is worth something, I think. It comes in keychain form so as to prevent your keys from flying away, Mary Poppins style.

Bubblewrap Calendar Lets You Pop Your Life Away, One Day at a Time
7:10PM Gizmodo US Edition | I haven’t met a single soul who doesn’t like popping bubblewrap, and now there’s BubbleCalendar, a full printed calendar that uses the bigger, more satisfying bubbles. And that might all be very neat and stress-relieving… but I have misgivings. Doesn’t the expiry of another day of your life, disappearing into the past with a little *phut* of plastic-wrapped gas sound rather sad? Available now with a paper backing for US$29.95, and heavy-duty plastic backing for US$49.95. [BubbleCalendar via Coolhunting] More »
