About This Quiz

For you, a rubber ducky may hold nostalgic value. There was nothing like playing with these little floaters in your bath, well after the bubbles disappeared. While you may be used to the simple yellow duckies with orange beaks, there are so many more out there that have flooded the market.

What better way to celebrate the little guys than to highlight some of the best careers they've had over the years? Yes, we understand that rubber duckies have really just one job: float, but these amazing creatures don't just squeak by on their good looks.
