But what do ducks have to do with donuts? For the rapidly growing Duck Donuts franchise, it’s where it all began, on the sandy beaches of Duck, North Carolina. What started on a whim for the made-to-order donut concept, quickly grew into an international sensation with more than 115 locations nationwide.
The origins of National Rubber Ducky Day stem from Sesame Street. Ernie, the show’s lovable orange puppet, declared Jan. 13 as his beloved rubber ducky bath toy’s birthday and is recognized on this day each year.
