THE NEIGHBORHOOD — I've never owned a Jeep. In fact, none of my family members or close friends owns one. Despite my lack of experience with Jeeps, I know two things about them:
- They're really cool
- They often have rubber ducks on them
So what's the story with these rubber ducks that you sometimes see on Jeeps? Turns out that the trend of placing rubber ducks on Jeep vehicles, known as "Jeep Ducking" or "Duck Duck Jeep," started years ago. Jeep owners leave ducks (and maybe a nice note) on other Jeeps to say "hello," acknowledge unique rides and spread good vibes.
During the pandemic, things like this were really important to keep us all connected. So I've got nothing but respect for the folks who helped this trend go national.
But as with anything in life, it's possible to take it too far. Case in point, check out the duck-infested Jeep in this video.
Yikes. That thing is a public hazard. Not only is it possible for the various ducks to go flying off and hit other cars, but I doubt the driver can see very well with that army of ducks obstructing the windshield.
So let this be a reminder to us all. Random gifts and notes are good. Covering every inch of your car with rubber ducks is not.
