It was bound to happen but I kind of missed it when it did. The simplest of bath toys the rubber duck has been upgraded.

The updated rubber duck (from I want one of those) comes with twin propellers and a remote control. Which means that it goes around, backwards and forwards. But the poor little duck has been adapted in other ways too. There is even an adult duck version which is pink and runs on batteries… So much for the innocence of bathtime.
