The Origin of “Ducking”

[Jchap1987]

The rubber ducks have made jeeps the laughing stock of the vehicle Industry

I'm not sure the legitimacy of who or why the ducking started, but I did come across this today. Also unsure if it is true but its interesting timing and sad if in fact true.

Out of curiosity, I searched and found this on YouTube. In this interview (her last) she tells her ducking story. She says her ducking experience with Jeeps began in 2020.

I chuckle at the macho "men" on various forums/platforms who express disdain/dislike/anger at the jeep ducking "experience" &/or hobby. NEWSFLASH - wannabe studs - this world has enough, & more important, issues to be angry about other than someone leaving a "gift" on your ride. C'MON MAN!

I've had my JT Mojave for one year as of this month. The first duck I received kinda freaked me out, because I was unfamiliar with "ducking." My grown son explained it to me. So, I researched the #duckduckJeep phenomenon and was quite intrigued.

In the past 12 months my JT has been ducked 15 times. I'm a retired senior citizen - and I'm hooked. I've ducked somewhere between 150 & 175 Jeeps this past year. My rubber ducks are purchased (a hundred at a time) off Amazon. If you receive a duck from me, it will also have a business card attached, with the following information: my social media handle, a picture of my actual JT, the phrase "You've been ducked!", and - believe it or not - a Bible verse reference (John 3:3). I've made ducking a "ministry" opportunity.

The back of my ducking card is blank - reserved for a note that I might decide to add, like "Happy Thanksgiving", "Merry Xmas", or whatever. Currently - as a critical election is upon us - I've been writing "VOTE!", and a URL "iVoterGuide.com". Very few people actually do their research on the candidates. Many will only vote for names/faces who they're familiar with, leaving the down-ballot empty. That's STUPID! It's your voice - your community, your state, your country! Do your research and make wise choices.

And, you macho wannabes - just stop getting offended about tiny rubber toys that Jeepers are placing on Jeeps. Y'all have a blessed life, and if I may ask a favor of you, please PRAY for my fellow North Carolinians who are digging out of the mud in our Smoky Mountains. Peace.

Pretty sure the ducking thing was around before Allison, she may not have invented it but she made it bigger than it ever was. They’re on a huge back order now, but my wife was lucky enough to score one of the Allison badges the first week it came out. I think more conversations start with that badge than they do with anything else on her Jeep lol

As strongly as your feeling are on this topic is no different than someone have a strong feeling in the opposite direction. That doesn’t make us offended just because we don’t agree with it. It also doesn’t make us wanna be macho “men” because we don’t want children’s bath toys on our vehicles. It’s ok to like or dislike it. and also I like your Bible verse you add to your card. That’s what really needs to be shared and gifted

I haven't been ducked yet. Don't really care either. It's not worth having strong feelings about either way.

Interesting how that goes with this...

The "X" removes the reason for the rebirth.
