Once you pop...
When it comes to excruciatingly compelling guilty pleasures, popping bubblewrap is up there with watching replays of Tom Cruise on Oprah while listening to Paris Hilton's single.*.
Indeed, this squishy air-filled plastic is so incredibly unputdownable our good friends in the Far East have created a tiny electronic gizmo that simulates the look, feel and sound of popping bubblewrap. Aargh!
Colors may vary
Developed in conjunction with Japan's biggest bubblewrap manufacturer, the Bubblewrap Keychain features eight rubbery 'bubble' buttons that activate a realistic popping sound when pressed. But here's the really good part: every 100th pop is not a pop but a random sound: a boing, a bark, a rude noise, a yell, whatever. Of course this makes the whole thing hideously addictive, as you'll be frantically popping buttons in order to hear the next crazy sound. Help!
 Puchi Puchi - Japanese for "pop pop!"
Put the Bubblewrap Keychain on your keyring or dangle it from your mobile phone and you'll soon become totally obsessed. Here at Firebox we're hopelessly hooked. We even tried finding a Bubblewrap Keychain rehab center but the accompanying numbthumb-itis caused by this devilish device meant we couldn't dial the helpline.
Real bubblewrap - obsolete
Yes, you could travel to work carrying a big roll of genuine bubblewrap, but you might look a bit silly, nay unhinged, fiddling with it on the F to Brooklyn. However, equipped with a Bubblewrap Keychain you can keep popping to your heart's content and fellow commuters will be none the wiser (until they hear a cat meowing or someone blowing a raspberry in your pocket).
Try me! - click to pop
(Flash required)
This really is one of the most addictively gratifying, strangely cathartic gadgets we've ever had the pleasure to play with, and we've played with loads. So get ordering and let the madness begin. Pop…pop…pop…pop, pop…pop…Aargh!!!!!
*Get Googling if you don't believe us!

The second best thing since sliced bread.

You just can't put this down, well, you can but not for long. Try playing Guess When The Random Noise Sounds, for cash, while drunk. Nice.
Terry Haughin, Barrow In Furness - Jul '08 |
Good lord I just watched James Hewitt and Rebecca Loos sing "The Way You Make Me Feel".
That's very disturbing. I think I need one of these to get over the stress now!
Firebox says: Haha! Fabulous! I think you will need more than this to get over it... but definitely a good start!

Utterly addictive, quite possibly the most brilliant thing i've ever bought...ever!

Think of an everyday object. Now prepare to be utterly astounded as this scarily intelligent device reads your mind by asking a series of questions. If it guesses within 20 questions, you lose. Stumping 20Q is almost a difficult as putting the darn thing down. Baffling!

 | Echo Bot
It might look like a wacky, one-eyed alien with bendy legs - and it is. But Echo Bot is also a stealth voice messenger. Simply record your message via the built-in mic and this lovable thingamabob plays it back the moment it detects movement. Ideal for insulting/serenading/freaking-out passers-by.
