Record for Most People Popping Bubble Wrap
Sealed Air Corporation, the makers of Bubble Wrap brand cushioning, and 366 students from Hawthorne High School joined forces to set an official Guinness World Records title to celebrate the 13th Annual Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day.
According to the company, it is a day where millions around the globe honor the creation of Bubble Wrap brand cushioning, invented more than 50 years ago.
The pop icon and the New Jersey high school set the record for “The Most People Popping Bubble Wrap at One Time,” with 366 students popping more than 8,000 square feet of the packaging material at an event of epic bubble-popping proportions on Monday morning in the town of Bubble Wrap’s birthplace, Hawthorne, N.J.

Rolls of Bubble Wrap cushioning filled the gym at Hawthorne High School, as hundreds of students, were given two minutes using their hands and feet to pop as much of this packaging material as possible.
