Gummianka

Gummi Duckie, du Àr den,
Du gör badtider mycket roligt,
Gummi Duckie, jag Àr vÀldigt glad i dig;

(va, va, bee doh!)

Gummi Duckie, glÀdje av glÀdje,
NÀr jag klÀmmer pÄ dig gör du ljud!
Gummi Duckie, du Àr min allra bÀsta vÀn, det Àr sant!

(Sesam Street, Rubber Duckie)

Vem har inte sjungit det hÀr pÄ badtiden, som barn eller som vuxen, sjunger den till ditt eget barn? Gummienden Àr en del av vÄr kultur som symboler för badtiden.

Men vad ligger bakom deras popularitet i vÄra nordamerikanska badrum?

Gummibranschen

Gummiparken (eller, idag, mer som plastduckie) Àr knuten i samband med uppkomsten av gummiindustrin pÄ 1800-talet.

Gummi introducerades först i Europa i början av 1700-talet i Frankrike, och de första vetenskapliga studierna av materialets egenskaper publicerades under det seklet. Ordet "gummi" kommer faktiskt frÄn Joseph Priestley, som Är 1770 upptÀckte att materialet kunde radera mÀrkena en penna kvar pÄ papper genom att gnugga - dÀrmed "gummi".

Fram till slutet av 1800-talet var produktionen av gummilatex och latextrÀdets tillvÀxt starkt skyddad av Brasilien tills en brittisk man smugglade frö frÄn Sydamerika och fick dem odlade pÄ platser som Indien, Malaysia och Sri Lanka. Malaysia Àr nu den största tillverkaren av naturgummi i vÀrlden!

Den första duckie

PÄ 1940-talet gjorde en skulptör av namnet Peter Ganine den första gummistanden.

För att leva, patenterade han mÄnga av hans djurskulpturer och fick dem att reproduceras som leksaker - och hÀr kommer den första kommersiella gummibanden frÄn.

Denna första upplagan av flytande leksak, gjord av plast istÀllet för naturgummi, var extremt populÀr, Àven enligt dagens standarder: över 50 miljoner av dem sÄldes.

Patentet nÀmner "upcapsizeable duck", vilket innebÀr att ankan kan flyta.

DÀrifrÄn tog gummibanden sig in i amerikanernas badrum, hjÀrtan och sinne.

"Rubber Duckie", Sesam Street

UtstĂ€llningen Sesame Street gav ocksĂ„ en ökning till gummibandens popularitet i amerikanska hem. År 1970 presenterade showen sĂ„ngen som sang av Ernie, som uttrycker sin kĂ€rlek till den knirkande leksaken under badtiden.

Den hÀr lÄten Àr den mest populÀra Sesame Street-lÄten Àven idag. Det nÄdde # 16 pÄ Top 100-diagrammet 1970, och lÄten nominerades till ett Grammy Award.

Eftersom Sesam Street-besÀttningen Ànnu inte har hittat en gummiband som gör samma squeak som originalet, anvÀnds ankan frÄn 1970 fortfarande nÀr sÄngen spelas in igen. 45 Är - det Àr ett bra liv för en gummiband!

Gummiband entusiaster överallt

Gummi duckies Àr nu ganska mycket överallt du gÄr. Det finns rykten om drottning Elizabeth II som Àger en gummistudie med en uppblÄsbara krona - ryktet som ökade leksaksförsÀljningen med 80% under en kort stund i England.

Det finns ocksÄ flera gummistudier som organiseras runt om i vÀrlden. Cincinnati, Ohio har den största tÀvlingen i USA: Freestore Foodbank Rubber Duck Regatta.

Kanada har tvÄ stora Ärliga raser: en i Saskatoon och en i Halifax.

I Australien hÄlls en Ärlig tÀvling i Brisbane för att samla in pengar till PA Research Foundations.

England hÄller rekordet för den största gummibandstrÀkten, med 250.000 flytande leksaker.
