Rubber Ducks have been around for a long time. Those little yellow bath time friends -sometimes hooked at fairs, sometimes seen racing each other down the Thames and occasionally bobbing around a bubble bath are just as loved as they ever were. They were certainly made most famous by the character Ernie in the American children’s television programme ‘Sesame Street’. Ernie sang a song called ‘Rubber Duckie’ which became very popular and boosted the sale of rubber ducks.

For many people, rubber ducks are considered to be highly collectable. It was reported that even Queen Elizabeth II has a little yellow duck with its own little crown. Sales of rubber ducks apparently went up by 80% during the short time that the news story made its way around the globe. No one really knows where they came from, but they are very popular still with all ages. That’s what makes BUD ducks so collectable!
