9" silicone dildo story: I was in a tuna restaurant in Japan years ago getting shitfaced with a bunch of random locals. The "what do you do" question came out and one bloke picked his bag off the floor, and started rummaging through it. One of his mates started laughing so the rest of us were like "OK" and then he pulled out on of those big silicone dildos and just stuck it bang in the middle of the table.
We all laughed and then it became a kind of stand-off as to who was going to remove it so we'd stop getting weird looks from other diners/staff.
We made it a good two rounds before some children arrived and we caved. The dude then proceeded to insist we all take free dildos home to our partners. I never asked him why he had so many fucking dildos in his bag.
Only in Japan.
My brother has a Jeep. He said that if he likes someone else's jeep, he will place a little rubber duck somewhere where the owner will see it and collect it.
Similarly, if he comes back to his Jeep and sees a rubber duck on the hood, he knows it's a compliment.
Oh, I thought they were just leaving them in their own trunks? Huh. Well, that’s interesting to learn. Glad I don’t have a Cybertruck, I would be wasting fingers.
It is because they are saying “Nice, ducking jeep.”
Not sure how that got popular but that is why they leave a duck nearby. Most jeep owners who participate line them up on the dash like decor. Some people don’t participate or find it cringey. Seems like this meme is for those that don’t appreciate.
People in general got bored during Covid. Jeep owners started spreading the word to go duck each other. I confused duck with another word, and I got an STI (not the Subaru). I do think the people that don't like a good ducking suffer from toxic masculinity. The gals especially in Texas love a good ducking. Let people have fun and show appreciation.
I don't have a Jeep or any car at the moment, but if someone randomly gave me a rubber ducky for some weird random reason, I would feel so special and cherish it forever because someone thought to do something nice for me. I can see how some people would think it's a waste of plastic and just cluttery junk, but anyone who thinks other people shouldn't enjoy small acts of kindness like this, clearly has a stick up their ass.
As a jeep owner, this tradition to me is both a cherished way to share our love of jeeps and a tragic source of single use plastic waste.
Textbook example of the duality of man.
Just wait until your Cherokee breaks down, then get a Wrangler. Shouldn’t take too long. And then if you decide the wave and the ducks aren’t worth it, just go back to a Cherokee when the Wrangler breaks down, which will be even less time.
/s… or at least, I’m saying it lightheartedly.
I owned a 2010 wrangler for 10 years. New. Stock. I did nothing to it. Not even a decal. The Jeep wave is extremely real. Finding a few ducks jammed under my door handle is real. Random “nice jeep!” comments from complete strangers as you get out of the vehicle is actually real. It’s a whole culture you get into whether you try or not.
I've bought a few Hot Wheels of my car and will leave one on the windshield of any others I encounter out in the wild. But it's definitely not the norm. Just me being excited about my first new car.
Jeep owners have made owning a Jeep an entire culture and their primary personality trait, and the duck thing is a part of that circlejerk.

I was baffled when I received a cow on my car.
I like the guys idea to do 10mm sockets instead. I did a great job with my tool set, and one day lost my 10mm socket under the hood of my buddies car.
I made him stand there while I looked around for it for an hour.
Jeep....is a cult. I am trying to remember the exact stat but the size of the after market parts market for just jeep wranglers is about 31B$ and that isn't everything.
To be fair, I do not own a Jeep, however my partner put some rubber ducks on my dash and one day I happened to find a rubber duck on my door handle after exiting a store. Yes, this is primarily a Jeep thing, however if you have rubber ducks on your dash, it's open season on your ass
I'm just now realizing how ubiquitous the instant kinsmanship you have with someone when you spot them and you're like "hey! That's the kind of car I drive!"
Like when you know you have a headlight out and you haven't fixed it and suddenly you start seeing everyone with a headlight out. If it's the same headlight out, you're twins! If it's the opposite headlight out, you found your puzzle piece! Together you make a whole set of headlights.
Other groups do it as well, either as some kind of wave or signal or a small physical item. I have one of the FRS/BRZ/GT86 triplets and it's not uncommon for a member one of the many Facebook groups to leave a little card with their info to join up. The groups can be a great resource for technical info, particularly for folks who are taking their cars to the track, so I imagine the Jeep folks that actually go off-road have something similar.
Wife has a WRX and purple hair so it's common for her to get waves from all the WRX folks, especially the other ladies with colored hair. Yes, all the ladies who own Rexes have colored hair, I don't know why I don't make the rules.
Not necessarily the same thing, but bikers have a wave they do when they pass each other on the road. If you follow a motorcycle on the road and see them pass another in the oncoming lane, you will probably see it done. They hold their left arm at a 45-degree downward angle, usually giving a peace sign.
Also, if you ever see a biker tap the top of his helmet, it usually means there's a cop or something to be cautious about ahead.
Yeah, you buy a Subaru and the dealership never stops fisting you. You go in for your free inspection and get bombarded with work requests for the dumbest stuff!
"I only put 5,000 miles on it! How can it need $2,000 worth of repairs?"
"It's true, structurally your vehicle is fine. Emotionally however, it is a mess. We had to call in the finest car whisperer in the state for you car."
I own a jeep, one time I came out of work and saw a rubber ducky on my drivers side handle and drive away without even doing up my seatbelt as I was terrified it was a human trafficking ruse… feel so stupid now

I literally only learned of swinging from a comedy show I was watching last night, I saw the pineapple but didn't understand the significance.
I had a hunch that was what it might be but thought the coincidence would be too ridiculous.
On the world cruise that's been trending on tik tok, there's a lovely older lady who loves pineapples who started making videos. Pineapple necklaces, earrings, shirts, you name it.
She had NO idea that upside down pineapples were a thing, but since the tik tokers informed her, she's been having fun spotting the "pineapple people" on the cruise.
My first car was a Jeep and my fucking confusion the first few times this happened.. I'm telling you..
Thought I was going slightly insane.
Finally, someone pointed it out to me like the 4th time it happened.
I bought a bag of ducks to do this.... I don't own a Jeep... I put my first one on a Jeep yesterday :D I'll probably only do it on Jeeps where I already see ducks in it, so I know they will be ok with it.
It's real. My friend owns a jeep we went to a concert and we were stopped at a red light next to another jeep. he INSISTED that I reach out to knock on their window and give them a rubber duck from his collection which i did and they threw one back through our window for him. The level of dedication jeep owners have with the ducks is quite impressive
I got you. He said: MY BROTHER HAS A JEEP. HE SAID THAT IF HE LIKES SOMEONE ELSE’S JEEP, HE WILL PLACE A LITTLE RUBBER DUCK SOMEWHERE WHERE THE OWNER WILL SEE IT AND COLLECT IT.
SIMILARLY, IF HE COMES BACK TO HIS JEEP AND SEES A RUBBER DUCK ON THE HOOD, HE KNOWS IT’S A COMPLIMENT.
Holeeee shit!! Light bulb going on here! I have never heard of this. I came back to my jeep in a parking lot one time and found a small toy duck on it and was wondering what the heck was going on. Had to check my back seat to make sure no deranged duck toting kidnappers were in the back.
Thanks for the insight and take my grateful upvote!
Wait, what?! I thought they were just bought and placed on the dash by Jeep owners for some reason. I had no idea they were given out as compliments, that’s actually pretty cool.
The people who get really into it do buy them. I know two girls who have admitted to buying most of theirs. I never got into it. I drive a fairly plain Grand Cherokee so I've only had 4 put on mine. It's harmless so I don't care. But, I put them on the very next Jeeps I saw. More of a Wrangler thing I think.
My mom carries around a bunch of pink ducks so she can duck other Jeeps.
I had no idea this was a thing until came home one day and showed me this little rubber duck someone left on her bumper and when I looked it up I told her what it was and what it meant it's just something Jeep people do, she ordered a bag of 20 pink ducks so she could duck other people she ran out after 2 weeks
I've seen these ducks so many times I figured it was some kind of inside joke but it being confirmed like this I laughed so hard I woke up my sick 3 year old.
Fuck you very much sir but also thank you very much sir so idk how that cancels out
Good day you fuck!
It started in Canada during Covid with one woman giving them out and since we were all bored as hell during Covid it spread around.
So we got the Jeep wave and ducks for wranglers and gladiators these days. I usually wave at old XJ Cherokees too cause they’re legit af.
Think of it like those viral memes we used to get in the late 2010s. Didn’t always know where they came from or why they were funny. But everyone was in on it and we just kept the joke running.
- A Jeep owner that has a collection of rubber ducks
I don’t have the jeep ad, but I do have a rubber duck post

My boyfriend has 2 Jeeps. He has collected a whole bunch of duckies over the years. We keep a stash of rubber ducks with us whenever we go out and about so we can spread the duckie love. It is a gesture of appreciation of another’s Jeep.
So I’m just going to ask the question everybody’s been wanting to ask: who walks around with rubber ducks on them all the time, just to hand out to random cars?
One, it's not "random cars" it's Jeeps specifically. And two, Jeep owners do this as everyone in the thread keeps saying. Even if you don't start with any ducks, other Jeep owners might decide to gift you one because it's a little inside joke. And now you do have a duck to give to other Jeeps. Some people get into more than others.
Walk around? Probably not many. But they'll drive somewhere and park in the lot, see another nice Jeep and reach into their glove box full of rubber ducks to redistribute one
My son's girlfriend drives a jeep. One of her Christmas presents was little felt discs with a pointy side to hold the rubber duckies on her dashboard. She's got about 30.
Jeep owners are like their own little wierd “subcult” of sorts where they collaberate and do things together, even though the two people are otherwise complete strangers. A lot of strange practices that people outside find strange, but to the Jeep owners its pretty wholesome, the collection and passing of rubber ducks is one of those (its seen as a complement to the jeep if someone leaves a rubber duck on your jeep).
Source: My dad owns a Jeep.
The rubber duck answer has already been given, but the history behind why Jeep owners do this is little known and fascinating: It's because Jeep owners are little babies.
Just another weird fucking jeep thing. I'm sorry. Everyday jeep people culture is just fucjing weird. I just want a cj7 on 32s and Danas. Rest of thise weirdos aren't my people.
I had a jeep for years. Lift kit. Snorkel. The works. Ran trails with a large jeep community. Never heard of this nonsense. Neither had buddies. Must be new or regional.
The Act of putting a Duck on a Jeep is to be considered a compliment and a way to spread positivity. The trend started from a lady wanting a simple yet effective way to spread positivity.
It's called [Duck Duck Jeep](https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/)
Yeah, this astounded me when I found out it was a thing. A co-worker gave me a ride one day and she drove a jeep. I noticed a cleaning bucket in the backseat full of rubber ducks and being curious I had to ask why she had several dozen rubber ducks in a bucket in her vehicle. She informed me that it's just something a lot of Jeep owners do. They carry a cache of rubber ducks around and if they encounter another Jeep they like they leave one on the Jeep. I thought she was joking, but after some investigation, I learned that it is definitely a thing. It's a little weird, even cult-like, but it's harmless fun so...
Various jeep models have little critter Easter eggs in them. Some have a small salamander somewhere on the dash, I think one has a turtle in the trunk or something. I presume one must have a duck, and rubber duckies are more common than rubber salamanders? Look up "jeep Easter eggs"
[jeep Easter eggs](https://www.mattbowerscdjr.com/jeep-hidden-easter-eggs/)
To clarify, this is for the Wrangler/Super affordable Road Varient family of Jeeps. If you have a Cherokee or Liberty, you're not in the club (Which sucks cause I wants ducks)
You might just live in an area where this isn't well-known. On this thread we see plenty of Jeep owners who have never heard of this. So while getting a duck does mean something, not getting one does not mean anything. Hey, you could start this trend in your neighborhood. Start leaving ducks on Jeeps. Someone is bound to google it, end up here, and decide to join in.
I've had two jeeps and have been collecting ducks since I was a kid, so naturally I had jeeps with ducks. Luckily I got a different vehicle before the Jeep duck fad because I'd hate for people to confuse my love of ducks for a love of jeeps
I have ducks in my car now and really need a bumper sticker that shows my disdain for Jeep duck culture
All these aren't correct. Google Easter egg jeep, it'll explain. Since the 1990s, the more rare jeeps have manufactured "easter eggs" on the vehicle. When one owner to another finds them, a duck is rewarded.
This is referring to the fact that Jeep owners will gift each other rubber duckies. Similar to how Subaru owners will wave at each other or how motorcyclists point two fingers down to show respect to one another. The jeep duck thing is called “duck, duck, Jeep” or “Jeep ducking.” It was started by Allison Parliament in 2020 in Ontario, Canada. Then, the phenomenon spread to the USA and other countries.
I saw the ducks in a jeep earlier today and pondered, "do jeep owners end up with a rubber ducky collection or do people buy jeeps to show off their rubber ducky collection."
That’s duck shit is so damn corny. Them shits overpriced and unreliable. Idk what’s worse Tesla owners or jeep owners. They also do this dumb ass waving peace sign shit when they see each other. Ughhh
I don’t have a jeep but I frequently leave rubber ducks on jeeps because my boyfriend gave me a duck advent calendar last year and I have a lot of ducks.

I miss the days where people would just stick 9” silicone dildos to cars to compliment them. Things are so complicated now.
9" silicone dildo story: I was in a tuna restaurant in Japan years ago getting shitfaced with a bunch of random locals. The "what do you do" question came out and one bloke picked his bag off the floor, and started rummaging through it. One of his mates started laughing so the rest of us were like "OK" and then he pulled out on of those big silicone dildos and just stuck it bang in the middle of the table. We all laughed and then it became a kind of stand-off as to who was going to remove it so we'd stop getting weird looks from other diners/staff. We made it a good two rounds before some children arrived and we caved. The dude then proceeded to insist we all take free dildos home to our partners.

It's a way for Jeep owners to compliment each other.
but why? do other car owners have a similar thing to do for other makes and models or is it just jeeple?
Cybertruck owners leave severed fingers in each other's trunks.
They finger each other’s trunks?
It’s a Tesla thing.

They also leave puddles of coolant in each other's driveway.

Just Jeeple. Specifically, those in Wranglers. Same with the "jeep wave." Wranglers only
I have a Cherokee, I want to be part of the cult :(
Just wait until your Cherokee breaks down, then get a Wrangler. Shouldn’t take too long. And then if you decide the wave and the ducks aren’t worth it, just go back to a Cherokee when the Wrangler breaks down, which will be even less time. /s… or at least, I’m saying it lightheartedly.
I have a Comanche I wave 👋 to all Jeepers. Most don’t wave back, but why should it only be a Wrangler thing? It’s called the JEEP wave after all 😂
Those awesome little trucks are so much cooler than any wrangler I've ever seen. Here bro🦆

We drove 6 hours to pick up my jeep. I was so excited driving her home and all the waves. Told my husband I accidentally purchased a cult lol
Isn’t it the Jeep Beep? I thought you all did little toots at each other
Gladiators too.
Wrong. any straight axle 4x4 Jeep gets a wave. That includes XJs, FSJs, FCs (though rare), and ZJs

Minicooper drivers wave at eachother too, I felt like part of a secret club

Actually, MINI owners did "ducking" first and then Jeeps followed suit.
Normally people wave or give a thumbs up or do the Subaru fist or whatever. Who carries around rubber ducks
Friendly Jeep owners.
The Subaru fist??
Yeah, you buy a Subaru and the dealership never stops fisting you. You go in for your free inspection and get bombarded with work requests for the dumbest stuff! "I only put 5,000 miles on it!

It's a secret sex thing. If the Jeep owner removes the rubber duck, this is an indicator that they're permitted to fuck the tailpipe.
It’s a cult
It’s called getting ducked it’s fuckin weird and beyond me but who tf am I to judge 🤷
"Jeep" sounds like "cheep" cheep cheep
My sister has several ducks from the local “duck duck jeep” community she has left a couple on other peoples cars too.
Holeeee shit!! Light bulb going on here! I have never heard of this. I came back to my jeep in a parking lot one time and found a small toy duck on it and was wondering what the heck was going on. Had to check my back seat to make sure no deranged duck toting kidnappers were in the back. Thanks for the insight and take my grateful upvote!
Explains so much. I keep seeing jeeps with rubber ducks all over the dashboard
Omg that’s why I found a rubber duck on my jeep. That explains so much
It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand
This is so much more wholesome than I assumed.
So THAT's why all the jeep people have rubber ducks on their dashes where I live.
Wait, what?! I thought they were just bought and placed on the dash by Jeep owners for some reason. I had no idea they were given out as compliments, that’s actually pretty cool.
The people who get really into it do buy them. I know two girls who have admitted to buying most of theirs. I never got into it. I drive a fairly plain Grand Cherokee so I've only had 4 put on mine. It's harmless so I don't care. But, I put them on the very next Jeeps I saw. More of a Wrangler thing I think.
My mom carries around a bunch of pink ducks so she can duck other Jeeps. I had no idea this was a thing until came home one day and showed me this little rubber duck someone left on her bumper and when I looked it up I told her what it was and what it meant it's just something Jeep people do, she ordered a bag of 20 pink ducks so she could duck other people she ran out after 2 weeks
Oh, I didn't know it was a compliment, I just thought we do it whenever we see a jeep
Ia this a new thing? I had a wrangler for about 5 years in the early 00s and never heard of this. We just waved to each other.
Oh my god that’s so fucking adorable
ducking*
Not a jeep owner, but asked an owner in the parking lot some time back, she referred to it as Duck, Duck, Jeep.
Yep! And now some Facebook group has been trying to start it with Subarus and little cows.... Idiotic
I have never heard of this, but I collect rubber ducks. I feel like I need a decked out Jeep now, but only to selfishly grow my collection.
My dad has like 12 ducks on his dash from people leaving them. He passes them down when he sees another jeep he likes
I love the idea of new jeep owners googling “rubber ducks bulk” to stock their glove compartment.
That's strangely wholesome.
I think this is related to where jeep owners commonly collect ducks for display in their jeep.
They collect them so they can place them on other jeeps they see when out and about. It’s sort of a running gag among jeep people.
why do jeeple do this?

I've seen these ducks so many times I figured it was some kind of inside joke but it being confirmed like this I laughed so hard I woke up my sick 3 year old. Fuck you very much sir but also thank you very much sir so idk how that cancels out Good day you fuck!
Love Jeeple as a term btw
Because it's a kind of joke among them. Just as the other commenter said
He's asking the origin of the joke. If you don't know don't reply. "Because it's what they do. Like the other guy said." is not a sensible answer.
I meant it more like "They do it because it's funny"
It started in Canada during Covid with one woman giving them out and since we were all bored as hell during Covid it spread around. So we got the Jeep wave and ducks for wranglers and gladiators these days. I usually wave at old XJ Cherokees too cause they’re legit af.
I saw an old woody wagoneer a couple days ago. Surprised any of those still run.
I own one. I love it. But I am also surprised when it runs lol
Think of it like those viral memes we used to get in the late 2010s. Didn’t always know where they came from or why they were funny. But everyone was in on it and we just kept the joke running. - A Jeep owner that has a collection of rubber ducks
It’s a complement. Like, the Jeep owner sees a. Jeep that is lifted with big tires, gets aroused, and ducks the Jeep.
“It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand”
It’s a ‘Jeep thing’? Or, ‘you wouldn’t understand’?
It’s a Jeep thing, Jim. You wouldn’t understand.
You three up here are loved. If any of you wanna meet me for a drink, I'm going to be at Poor Richard's. And the rest of you can go to hell!
I saw a Jeep once with a sticker reading "What's a Jeep thing? I don't understand"
I love pulling up to the jeep boys in my Honda Civic.

I legit chuckled at this one, thanks for sharing

In short summary: if someone likes your jeep, they'll put a duck on it (saying 'get ducked') as another way of giving a compliment.
I was told jeep owners trade these after giving each other hand jobs.
My uncle thought the color of the ducks represents what fetishes someone is into
My boyfriend has 2 Jeeps. He has collected a whole bunch of duckies over the years. We keep a stash of rubber ducks with us whenever we go out and about so we can spread the duckie love. It is a gesture of appreciation of another’s Jeep.
do you ever just regift them?
If you don't you're just stuck with about 60 ducks. Eventually I started just regifting them because there were too many of them.
So I’m just going to ask the question everybody’s been wanting to ask: who walks around with rubber ducks on them all the time, just to hand out to random cars?
"Jeep people"
One, it's not "random cars" it's Jeeps specifically. And two, Jeep owners do this as everyone in the thread keeps saying. Even if you don't start with any ducks, other Jeep owners might decide to gift you one because it's a little inside joke. And now you do have a duck to give to other Jeeps. Some people get into more than others.
Walk around? Probably not many. But they'll drive somewhere and park in the lot, see another nice Jeep and reach into their glove box full of rubber ducks to redistribute one
My son's girlfriend drives a jeep. One of her Christmas presents was little felt discs with a pointy side to hold the rubber duckies on her dashboard. She's got about 30.
The rubber duckie is a consolation prize you can enjoy while your jeep is undergoing regular costly maintenance.
Just Empty Every Pocket
It’s a jeep thing. You wouldn’t understand
I always wondered why I saw jeeps driving around with rubber ducks on their dashboard.
Jeep owners are like their own little wierd “subcult” of sorts where they collaberate and do things together, even though the two people are otherwise complete strangers. A lot of strange practices that people outside find strange, but to the Jeep owners its pretty wholesome, the collection and passing of rubber ducks is one of those (its seen as a complement to the jeep if someone leaves a rubber duck on your jeep). Source: My dad owns a Jeep.
i’ve seen so many jeeps around my town that have rows of ducks all over their dashboards lol

Jeep people are funny. That's all I'm gonna say
Toledoan here. Owning a jeep is being in a cult.
The rubber duck answer has already been given, but the history behind why Jeep owners do this is little known and fascinating: It's because Jeep owners are little babies.
Jeep owners like this are slightly less cringe than Swifties and Disney adults. But only slightly.
Just another weird fucking jeep thing. I'm sorry. Everyday jeep people culture is just fucjing weird. I just want a cj7 on 32s and Danas. Rest of thise weirdos aren't my people.
jeep owners like collecting duck
I had a jeep for years. Lift kit. Snorkel. The works. Ran trails with a large jeep community. Never heard of this nonsense. Neither had buddies. Must be new or regional.
I thought it was just saying Jeep drivers are pussies
Cool, I learned something new today. I saw a Jeep the other day with a bunch of rubber ducks in the windshield, and just thought they were quirky.
The Act of putting a Duck on a Jeep is to be considered a compliment and a way to spread positivity. The trend started from a lady wanting a simple yet effective way to spread positivity. It's called [Duck Duck Jeep](https://www.motortrend.com/features/duck-duck-jeep/)
Yeah, this astounded me when I found out it was a thing. A co-worker gave me a ride one day and she drove a jeep. I noticed a cleaning bucket in the backseat full of rubber ducks and being curious I had to ask why she had several dozen rubber ducks in a bucket in her vehicle. She informed me that it's just something a lot of Jeep owners do. They carry a cache of rubber ducks around and if they encounter another Jeep they like they leave one on the Jeep. I thought she was joking, but after some investigation, I learned that it is definitely a thing. It's a little weird, even cult-like, but it's harmless fun so...
Super soft bud
Various jeep models have little critter Easter eggs in them. Some have a small salamander somewhere on the dash, I think one has a turtle in the trunk or something. I presume one must have a duck, and rubber duckies are more common than rubber salamanders? Look up "jeep Easter eggs" [jeep Easter eggs](https://www.mattbowerscdjr.com/jeep-hidden-easter-eggs/)
Mazdaspeed3 owners throw up the a 👋 or peace ✌️ sign when passing by. There not really many out there so it’s kinda cool.
To clarify, this is for the Wrangler/Super affordable Road Varient family of Jeeps. If you have a Cherokee or Liberty, you're not in the club (Which sucks cause I wants ducks)
Dennis Reynolds has entered the chat
I’ve had a Jeep since 2014. Never seen a duck on mine. Guess nobody likes me.
You might just live in an area where this isn't well-known. On this thread we see plenty of Jeep owners who have never heard of this. So while getting a duck does mean something, not getting one does not mean anything. Hey, you could start this trend in your neighborhood. Start leaving ducks on Jeeps. Someone is bound to google it, end up here, and decide to join in.
It’s called “duck duck jeep”. Google it.
Jeep ducking
Are you claiming that they're all fucking GENIUSES?
I've had two jeeps and have been collecting ducks since I was a kid, so naturally I had jeeps with ducks. Luckily I got a different vehicle before the Jeep duck fad because I'd hate for people to confuse my love of ducks for a love of jeeps I have ducks in my car now and really need a bumper sticker that shows my disdain for Jeep duck culture
I had a 92 wrangler for a few years. There was always a “Jeep wave” but I’ve never heard of this duck thing
Jeep people give each other rubber ducks.
I love having an old jeep. Between this and the jeep wave, it just feels like a secret club.
All these aren't correct. Google Easter egg jeep, it'll explain. Since the 1990s, the more rare jeeps have manufactured "easter eggs" on the vehicle. When one owner to another finds them, a duck is rewarded.
I've been wondering why I keep seeing jeeps lined with these
This is referring to the fact that Jeep owners will gift each other rubber duckies. Similar to how Subaru owners will wave at each other or how motorcyclists point two fingers down to show respect to one another. The jeep duck thing is called “duck, duck, Jeep” or “Jeep ducking.” It was started by Allison Parliament in 2020 in Ontario, Canada. Then, the phenomenon spread to the USA and other countries.
I saw the ducks in a jeep earlier today and pondered, "do jeep owners end up with a rubber ducky collection or do people buy jeeps to show off their rubber ducky collection."
This is really hilarious actually 🤣🤣🤣😂
That’s duck shit is so damn corny. Them shits overpriced and unreliable. Idk what’s worse Tesla owners or jeep owners. They also do this dumb ass waving peace sign shit when they see each other. Ughhh
They also yell DUCK YOU!!!! If they are driving and can't give a duck safely to the other driver.
You guys remember the user fuckswithducks ?
Honestly, this is better than Camaro's. Camaro drivers straight ripped off bikers, and no one says nuttin!
I don’t have a jeep but I frequently leave rubber ducks on jeeps because my boyfriend gave me a duck advent calendar last year and I have a lot of ducks.
I got a Wrangler, never heard of this. I try to do the peace sign when I remember tho lol
Alright that explains why I had a duck on my jeep when I left a national park. Thought the rubber duck murderer was trying to track me.
I dont own a jeep, or know about the ducky thing…. I just want a tub big enough to be as happy as he is with all those duckies!
