Apparently some companies still think going ‘viral’ on social media is akin to catching ebola.
Case in point: Sealed Air, manufacturer of bubble wrap.
They recently posted a video of one of their plant foreman explaining how bubble wrap is made in response to a child’s question.
It reminded me of a segment of Unwrapped on Food Network, where they show you how gummy bears, for example, go from their sugary ingredients through the factory to packaging and ultimately the grocery story and your tummy.
The bubble wrap video caught the attention of several bloggers and was even the subject of a Reddit. But soon after I viewed the video, Sealed Air took it down.
Off the blogs. Off any online mention. And even off their own site, from what I can tell.
What gives? Don’t they know all this chatter about a video on bubble wrap (of all things) is amazing?
Revel in the attention, guys. Don’t burst our bubble.
