Unveiling the Mystery Behind Rubber Objects Found in Car Door Handles
Have you ever found a rubber duck on your car door handle? Well, you’re not alone. It seems like this quirky trend has taken the world by storm, starting with a woman named Allison Parliament from Canada.
Allison, a die-hard Jeep fan, stumbled upon a Jeep Wrangler during the pandemic and decided to spread some cheer by leaving a small rubber duck on the car with a note that said «Cool Jeep.» Little did she know that this simple act of kindness would kickstart a global phenomenon known as «Jeep ducking.»
The #DuckDuckJeep Craze
Allison shared a photo of the duck on Instagram with the hashtag #DuckDuckJeep, and soon, the trend caught on like wildfire. What started as a one-off gesture has now turned into a full-blown community with over 138,000 members on Facebook, all sharing their duck encounters and gifting stories.
The practice has now expanded beyond just Wranglers and encompasses all Jeep models. The main aim of «Jeep ducking» is to spread joy and happiness through these adorable rubber ducks, as showcased on Allison’s Instagram.
The TikTok Frenzy of #DuckDuckJeep
If you’re looking for some entertainment, head over to TikTok, where you’ll find countless videos and photos of Jeep ducking content with thousands of views. From personalized ducks to ducks perched on spare tires, mirrors, door handles, and even the hood, the creativity knows no bounds.
What to Do If You Find a Duck on Your Jeep
While this trend may be more common in North America, anyone can join in the fun. If you come across a duck on your Jeep, snap a photo and share it on social media with the hashtag #DuckDuckJeep. You can then decide whether to keep the duck as a trophy or pass it on to another off-road enthusiast.
For those looking to gift a duck, the key is to place it in a visible spot, like the windshield or door handle, and some even match the duck’s color to the car. It’s all about spreading smiles and goodwill within the Jeep community.
Taking «Jeep Ducking» to New Heights
Some enthusiasts have taken the rubber duck trend to new levels, with one viral video showing a giant inflatable duck soaring across a highway. While the duck didn’t survive the windy journey, it caught the attention of Jeep, who humorously responded on Twitter, «We’re going to need a bigger Wrangler.»
So, the next time you spot a rubber duck on your Jeep, remember to embrace the fun and maybe even join in on the #DuckDuckJeep craze. Who knows, you might just brighten someone’s day with a simple yet heartfelt gesture.
