Gadget to bring relief bubble-wrap-less bubble-wrap addicts
Once you pop...
A perk of writing about consumer technology is having the latest gear plonked onto your lap to play with test, and the resulting huge piles of bubble-wrap to pop. Now everyone can pop til their thumbs bleed, thanks to Puchi Puchi.
The gadget measures 40 x 40 x 10mm and recreates the sound and feeling of popping bubble-wrap with rubbery air-filled buttons. But every hundredth pop results in a random sound – ranging from a boing or bark to a rude noise, but we couldn’t possibly guess which one.
Puchi Puchi: pop until you pass out
Around 2m units are thought to have been sold since Puchi Puchi was released in Japan last year, which is a hell of a lot of popping. The battery-operated gadget’s bound to be more appealing than Pringles though, because once you pop a Puchi Puchi you just won’t stop.
TV host Jonathon Woss is even a self-confessed pop-addict. He recently claimed “it’s like bubble-wap that never wuns out. It’s the best thing I evew owned”.
Puchi Puchi is available online from Firebox for £8 (€11/$17). Stocks are sold out currently, but more are expected later this month. It does beg the question though, will Firebox post Puchi Puchi’s out packed in bubble-wrap?

Waiting for that!!!
I was wondering if someone would mention the Tension Sheet.
Thing is though will you release it in red or would you go with another colour???
Not impressed.
This will sink without a trace when I release my patented Tension Sheet.
