We've been noticed...

Here are a few of the places that this site has been mentioned…

Glamour Magazine, (March 2004) listed us as a “good way to relieve stress” on page 131.

Good Morning, America discussed our site in February of 2006.

Internet Tonight on the now-defunct cable channel ZDTV chose us as its “Stupid Net Trick” of the day.

USA Today rated us a “Hot Site” on August 12, 1998, saying “Work off that cyber-tension with some virtual bubble wrap. Not only is there a suitable sound effect, but you don’t have to worry about running out of bubbles — just start over.”

CNN Headline News profiled this site on March 21, 1999.

Metro.co.uk mentioned us in their article of March 20, 2007: “Exactly how you attack those bubbles has always been the subject of debate, says virtual-bubblewrap.com, where you can pop bubbles online. Do you go for the classic, single pop or the multi-pop by crushing handfuls in a fist? Or how about wrapping yourself in the stuff and rolling over and over? “

The Associated Press published the following on March 18, 2007, in an article titled “Online diversions to prevent real work:” _“NEW YORK —
My adventures in goofing off began with Virtual Bubble Wrap, at www.virtual-bubblewrap.com. It’s just like popping the bubbles on the wrap used for packaging, just on your computer. Use your mouse to pop all 196 bubbles. It’s you against the timer. Unfortunately, four attempts failed to land me in the top 50. My hands are simply too slow. So I opted to pop bubbles in patterns instead — namely, a smiley face. Fifteen minutes wasted. Woo-hoo! “_

also, on October 9, 1999, the Betty comic strip mentioned Virtual Bubble Wrap:
