I did not have one but I have had them both at home and the cabin for the grands since they were little. I actually have a great big one, I mean stuffed animal big! and then of course the momma duck and all her babies. The grands love to take a bath at grandmas and play with the duckies!!
I don't remember ever having one as a child.
Last summer a hotel was giving them out and wanted you to take a picture of it while you were traveling and post it on their website. We were headed to the beach and thought it would be fun to put it in the ocean but we lost the rubber ducky and didn't find it til we got home. It's still sitting on my dresser.
