Bubble-popping game for OCD

This almost falls into the chindogu, or un-useless inventions category, though not quite. The Japanese have once again come up with a weird gimmick that might actually find a sizable market in people who feel compelled to pop Bubble Wrap. You know who you are.

Toymaker Bandai's cute-sounding "Puti Puti" even simulates the sound of the bubbles bursting. It's particularly useful for those with OCD.
