Rubber Ducky

This is not important. It is just an observation of how products change over time.

Way back when, when we lived in NC I purchased rubber ducks for our hot tub. The reason I purchase Munchkin was; the label said the duck would stay upright 99% of the time. To our surprise it did during all the swirling and rough water of the hot tub. It gave us great hours of entertainment. (can you tell, it doesn't take much to keep us happy). We had 5 ducks and the goal was to count the number of times during our tub session our ducks would be in a row. Confirming we could "get our ducks in a row".

Since we have a new hot tub and I didn't move our ducks from NC. I purchased 3 new ones at Wal-mart just the other day. This time, the label didn't mention the upright guarantee. Sad to say something has changed. Sure it floats and says the water is hot! (we already know that) But, it is upright only 30% of the time. (Can you tell I have been studying this) I am disappointed, wrote to Munchkin but with no response to date.
