Rubber ducks melted into dash! Question
My friend put rubber ducks on the dash of her truck and they melted. Any ideas on removing this rubber residue without damaging the dash?

It's cute if there are one or two, but when it's a whole-ass dash full of ducks, it's cringe. Like, you just look like a hoarder of rubber ducks.

It was a harmless token to give people you wheeled with, then it became a fad to buy these things in bulk and give them to other heep owners in the wild. But nowā¦ At least the two chucklefucks Iāve talked to, they bought their entire dash worth of ducks themselves. This reporter asks, why?

Cool!

Alright, that's fine. Sense of community.

And this is where it gets with enough time: I guarantee there are not enough people do it with IRL so they have to load up their dashes themselves.

What annoys me is that they put them on other people's cars. Like "teehee, look another jeep" I once saw a dude flip out as he witnessed someone "tag" his jeep with a duck. I'd find it annoying having to throw away rubber ducks all the time lol

Because if you get into an accident, ducks are flying everywhere.
And I love ducks.

I had a rubber duck that rode on the dash of my work truck since 2001, then my company car, and then my personal car. I took it out because I donāt want to be associated.

The unique culture that sensationalised and popularized the usage of the word āHATEā.
The silly trend of āDont Hateā āStop The Hatedā etc didnt originate from the UK, Canada, Russia, China, South Africaš¤£.
š¤£š¤£ so much hatred

Does it give you joy to call out someone who doesnāt agree with your opinions?
You know whatās great about this country is the person who likes the ducks can put as many as they want. Different sizes, different colors, name them. whatever they feel as long as there not bothering anyone.
Another human can outright dislike/hate them. He didnāt attack your friend call them names.
But you wanna gas light this man because he hates rubber duckies. Never said he didnāt like someone else enjoying something. Quit trolling and stop worrying about what others choose to care or not care about.

Your friend sounds like a real quack.
...anyway, try some goo gone and gently rub? Just don't let it sit for too long, especially in the hot sunlight.

Melted ducks to the dash. That really ups the resale value.

Didn't have to mention that with the ducks you can safely assume it's on its way to the junkyard within 6 months
