Someone should write a book about "things that seemed like a good idea at the time". Incandescent light bulbs... Three's A Crowd... Goldwater Conservatism....
The Electronic Bubble Wrap Keychain from Thinkgeek ($10) is exactly what it sounds like. It's a little keychain with 8 buttons, and every time you push one it makes a popping noise like bubble wrap. Except it doesn't sound the same. Well at least not in the video. And you don't get the satisfaction of destroying something. For every 100 pops it rewards you with a round of applause or some other noise. This thing reminds me of the Snap Your Fingers keychain I tried to market a year ago. You pushed a button and it sounded like you were snapping your fingers. Seemed like a good idea for a minute, but once I sobered up and got released from the drunk tank I realized it was stupid.
