Video Overview
Script: Ever wondered why a rubber ducky is the quintessential bath-time toy? It all started with Charles Goodyear's discovery of vulcanized rubber in the 19th century. This discovery transformed rubber from a sticky mess to a durable material, perfect for toys. Fast forward a few decades, and enterprising minds began crafting charming rubber animals, but the duck stood out. Its bright yellow hue, reminiscent of sunshine, made it the perfect bath-time companion, symbolizing fun and safety. But here's the twist: the first rubber ducks couldn't float! They were solid, meant to be chew toys. It wasn't until later that the hollow, floating version we know today was invented. Now picture this: a bathtub full of floating ducks, each one a nod to a quirky journey through innovation and tradition.
