This is just downright un-American, on this July 4th weekend. News is coming out that bubble wrap will be losing its signature popping sound.

Sealed Air Corp. is unveiling a new version of the classic bubble wrap, called iBubble Wrap. Instead of leaving the factory filled with tiny pockets of air, iBubble will ship flat and be installed before use.

This will take up much less space when loaded on delivery trucks. The trade off, no popping!

Don't worry, pop-lovers! A classic version of Bubble Wrap will still be available.
