The New York Daily Newsreports that Stephen Turbek's interactive pop-one-a-day bubble wall calendars are a hit. People love to pop the bubbles on bubble wrap and the bubble calendars work on the same concept. The Daily News says Turbek has already sold thousands of his bubble wall calendars.
Turbek, of Fort Greene, fashioned the pop-a-day calendar using a long sheet of paper with the month and dates printed in columns, then covering the whole thing with a sheet of bubble wrap.
He's selling them online for $30 to $50 a pop, and has already sold thousands, he said.
The calendar does require a degree of restraint on the part of the popper - you're only able to burst one per day - but Turbek said he has found a way to incorporate people's love of popping bubble wrap into a daily activity.
"Like many people, I really enjoy popping bubbles. I thought it would be fun to put it to some purpose," Turbek said.
This was a clever idea. Owners of the bubble calendars will have to use restraint to keep from busting bubbles ahead of time. The calendars can be purchased online at bubblecalendar.com.
