I need help settling a pointless argument...

When you wrap something up in bubblewrap, do you wrap it with the bubbles on the inside or on the outside?

EDIT: And why do you do inside/outside instead of the other.

Bubble Wrap Burgler Alarm
Make a burglar alarm for your home. Lay Bubble Wrap on the floor inside your doors and windows. When a thief breaks in and walks across the floor, the "pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop" will alert you to the intruder.

Bubblehead
Improvise a football or motorcycle helmet. Wrap massive quantities of Bubble Wrap around your head and seal in place with clear packaging tape (or duct tape). If Bubble Wrap can protect a hand-painted egg shipped from Czechoslovakia across the Atlantic, it can protect your head when it hits asphalt.
CAUTION: The specific amount of Bubble Wrap required to provide adequate protection has not yet been determined.Bubble Wrap Insect RepellentPrevent mosquito bites on arms and legs by covering your extremities in Bubble Wrap. When mosquitoes do try to bite you, the Bubble Wrap bubble will pop and the tiny explosion of air will send the mosquito spiraling through the air.

Sweet Dreams
Sleeping while camping can be a real pain in the back, unless you are carrying a lightweight six-foot roll of Bubble Wrap as a mat to place under your sleeping bag. Or fold a twelve-foot-long piece of Bubble Wrap in half and duct tape the sides to make the padded sleeping bag of your dreams.
CAUTION: If you are sleeping on the beach, high tide may cause you to float out to sea.

Bubble Wrap Boob Job
Enlarge your breasts. Padding a bra with Bubble Wrap gives a nice natural feeling without the nasty side effects of silicone implants.WARNING: Do not substitute Bubble Wrap for silicone implants during plastic surgery.

Bubble Wrap Instead of Cash
Impress your date by padding your wallet with a piece of Bubble Wrap behind your money. It will look like you have a lot more money than you actually do. Or just impress your date with the fact that you always carry around a trusty piece of Bubble Wrap.

Inside obviously. Becuase then they provide protection for the object within.

I got some books in a bubble envelope, and it has the bubbles on the outside of the inside.

Pop!

They also provide protection for the object within if they are on the outside. And it makes the inside more smooth.

It isn't obvious really.

The bubbles provide protection regardless of placement inside or outside.

I tend to believe they should be on outside based on numerous packages I have received, and also the rolls of the stuff we have here at work. They have adhesive on the flat side. Placing bubbles on inside would result in bubble wrap sticking to everything it touches.

God I'm bored. Opponents, please move.
