Pop till you drop

If you, like millions of others, cannot resist popping bubble wrap, you’ll know how frustrating it is when you pop the last bubble – and how long you’ll spend searching for that one bubble you might have missed.

Now, from Bandai, comes the ultimate solution. Puchi Puchi is the new bubble wrap simulator that will never run out, allowing you to get that bubble-popping fix whenever, wherever and as often as you like.

Hailing from Japan, Puchi Puchi is the word the Japanese use to describe that oh-so-satisfying pop when you squeeze a bubble. It took Japan by storm at the end of last year, selling one million pieces within two months of hitting the shops.

Puchi Puchi will also reward you with unexpected sounds every now and then – such as a dog barking – but you’ll never know how close you are to one of these bonuses.

Choose from blue, pink or white versions, each selling for around £6.00, and if you feel the need to talk to someone about your addiction, you can call 020 7684 6969. The friendly people on the other end of the line will be glad to sell you a Puchi Puchi – which won’t actually help with your addiction, of course…
