There’s always one person who just ruins all the fun for everyone. Why can’t they just let us live our lives?

Sealed Air Corp, the company that invented bubble wrap in the 1950s, have announced they’re going to change their design. Their reason is because bubble wrap is actually very bulky and awkward for transporting.

For us, it basically means complete devastation.

The new design makes it easier to transport because it’s flat. So you can’t pop it. It’s supposedly to help keep the online bubble wrap business (which the Wall Street Journal says is booming, FYI) going strong.

We think they’re forgetting about the thousands of fans who are buying it purely for the joy of popping the bubbles.

It’s called “iBubble Wrap” now by the way… Cringe.

Of course, this is not the first time something we love has been ripped from us so cruelly. The SHEmazing! team took a trip down (painful) memory lane and rounded up some of our past loves that just don’t exist anymore.

There were a few tears for the following:

Recording the weekly Top 40 on a cassette tape
Your reflexes had to be in top shape to get that pause/rec button timing.

 

The simple deliciousness that was a Fat Frog

 

Supermarket Sweep
Get all of the cheese, get it all!

 

Speaking of TV, remember Newlyweds?
“Is this chicken or is this fish?” 

 

Getting something in the post
We know, An Post is still completely functioning, but we haven’t had post that wasn’t a bill for a long time.

 

When the teacher pushed the TV-on-wheels into the classroom
Once you leave school you realise how much this moment meant to you.

 

Fluffy boots
Because wearing the Cookie Monster was fashion forward.

 

These pants…

Sometimes maybe it is for the best to just let it go…
