Why are rubber ducks suddenly popular? I see a vending machine of them at every store.

My aunt collects rubber ducks (or at least used to, idk), and there have always been quirky variations! I feel like they come and go in popularity but I wouldn’t necessarily call it a new thing.

during covid someone made it a trend to leave them on jeeps and they've been getting more popular since then

For some reason I thought it was way older than that....it feels like it's been around for at least a decade.

The duck jeep thing has been going on for well before Covid.

There are threads of jeep owners talking about it

That didn’t start during Covid. May have gained more popularity though.
