Fidget Bubble Pop Fad Solves Age-Old Problem
Fidget spinners are so 2017. The latest fad for fidgeters courtesy of TikTok (where else?) is the “fidget bubble pop.” The name may not roll off the tongue, but that has not prevented these sensory toys from taking the internet by storm.
The foundation of the fidget bubble pop is a simple notion: “What if you could pop bubble wrap an unlimited number of times?” Everyone knows how addictive popping bubble wrap is, which makes the feeling of discovering there is no bubble wrap left almost as deflating as the popping itself is exhilarating. Fidget bubble pop solves that problem. After you are done pressing in all the little bubbles, you can pop them back out and do it all over again.
These toys come in a nearly limitless number of shapes and designs, though the colorful ones above seem to be the most popular.
In a day and age in which diverse sensory input is hard to come by, it should be no surprise that fidget toys are having another moment. In addition to being ideal for the home office, they are great for kids, especially the ones in fun shapes like dinosaurs.
Supposedly, the toy is meant to be a kind of two-person game. In the game, you take turns pressing as many bubbles as you want, then whoever presses the last bubble loses. I can’t say this is my idea of a rollicking good time, but to each his own. With your fidget toy, you can use it any way you want to.
