Named as rubber duck, or rubber ducky. They're symbolically linked to bathing... I wonder if people really use them in their bath? (During a Pacific storm in 1992, three 40-foot containers holding 29,000 rubber ducks from a Chinese factory were washed off a ship. Two-thirds of the ducks floated south and landed three months later on the shores of Indonesia, Australia, and South America. The other ducks headed to Alaska and then completed a full circle back near Japan, caught up in the North Pacific Gyre. HOW CUTE!)
