💎 Rare Accounting Oddities

Did you know bubble wrap isn’t really meant for packaging use? Back in 1957, two inventors were selling their invention as trendy 3D wallpaper - however it completely flopped overnight. 

By reclassifying costs, capitalizing future-use R&D, and carefully managing expenses, Sealed Air company, the inventor of bubble wraps, kept its balance sheet healthy enough to survive. 

Today, bubble wrap is made in such large quantities it could wrap the Earth 10 times. Proof that sometimes, the correct accounting entry is what keeps a “pop” from becoming a flop.
