Why did bubble wrap start as wallpaper?

Why did bubble wrap start as wallpaper?
In 1957, engineers Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes attempted to create a textured wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together, trapping air bubbles between them. This quirky design didn't catch on with interior decorators. However, they soon discovered its potential as a packaging material, leading to the bubble wrap we enthusiastically pop today. So, next time you're stress-relieving with those satisfying pops, remember: you're enjoying a failed wallpaper experiment! mentalfloss.com
