The original keychain gadget.

THERE’S just something about bubble wrap that we can’t get enough of.

Yes, it’s really useful when it comes to fragile packages — but we all know the true joy comes from popping those little plastic bubbles.

And now, the fun doesn’t have to be limited to birthdays, Christmas or online delivery days — thanks to a little toy that mimics the addictive sensation, without the crushing disappointment of realising you’ve burst all of the bubbles.

The “Mugen Puchipuchi” — a small keychain with eight “bubbles” — is made using a double layer structure of silicone rubber to create a similar feeling to the real deal.

Best. Phone case. Ever.

“Mugen” is Japanese for “infinite”, representing the infinite number of bubbles its users will pop. Meanwhile, “Puchipuchi” is the Japanese word used to describe the plastic wrap’s unmistakeable popping sound.

There’s even a phone case version — which, presumably, would also offer outstanding protection for your mobile.

The original Japanese keychain is quite an investment at $78, but luckily the phone case version can be picked up for as little as $10.

Whichever you choose, the popping satisfaction will be well worth it.
