Rubber Duckie ( duck ) Rubber Duckie is Ernie ' s toy duck and most treasured possession . Ernie has expressed his fondness for his duckie in several songs , most famously " Rubber Duckie " , but the duck has also figured in " Put Down the Duckie , " " D - U - C - K - I - E , " " Do De Rubber Duck " , and " The Honker - Duckie - Dinger Jamboree " . In " Christmas Eve on Sesame Street " , Ernie trades Rubber Duckie to Mr . Hooper in order to get a present for Bert for Christmas . In storybooks , Rubber Duckie is sometimes pictured as being more of a pet than a toy ; he often has eyes that seem to focus , as if he were more - or - less alive . For example , in the 2002 book " Look and Find Elmo " , Rubber Duckie is visited by dozens of his " duckie friends " , who play with him in Ernie ' s bathtub . His friends include Grubby Duckie , Lucky Duckie and Duckleberry Swim . Rubber Duckie ' s anthropomorphization goes as far back as 1977 , when Joe Mathieu drew him in a state of fear in " The Sesame Street Mix or Match Storybook " . History . A Rubber Duck is , as you might have guessed , a toy made out of rubber in the shape of a duck . It would bob happily atop the water in which you bathed , staring at you with happy eyes . Though known to many as Ernie ' s toy on " Sesame Street " , the rubber duckie existed as early as the 1920s . These days , rubber ducks are actually made out of a thick vinyl , as it is cheaper and more durable than rubber . Most come with a nozzle ( usually at the bottom ) so that if you squeeze the duck , it will squeak a happy noise at you . Ernie ' s Rubber Duckie was originally an actual squeak toy ( manufactured by Alan Jay Clarolyte ) that Jim Henson purchased in 1969 . Because this specific rubber duckie design has long been obsolete , prop - makers have refurbished the duck in succeeding years , creating a rubber mold around the original toy and painting over it . The rubber ducks used nowadays do not actually squeak . A helper off - camera makes the squeak noises . Other Rubber Duckies . Ernie is not the only Muppet to have a Rubber Duckie . In " Sesame Street , Special " , it ' s revealed that Hoots the Owl has a Rubber Duckie of his own . In " Where ' s Beaker ? " , it ' s revealed that Dr . Bunsen Honeydew has a Rubber Duckie . A special Rubber Duckie with invisibility spray was used by Fozzie Bear in " Muppets from Space " . However , as Bert said in Episode 0406 , he doesn ' t have a rubber duckie , and doesn ' t want one . However , in the song " I Gotta Be Clean " , Bert actually has a Rubber Pigeon . Dr . Bunsen Honeydew finds his lost Rubber Duck in the " It ' s Story Time " short story , " Where ' s Beaker ? " The Pajanimals have at least three of them . Two of them can be seen sitting in the windowsill above their bathtub in the song " Stick to the Plan " and in the " Bathtime Boogie " song in the full series . A third sits inside a toy boat on the edge of the bathtub .
Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci ( 1452 - 1519 ) was an Italian Renaissance polymath : an architect , anatomist , sculptor , engineer , inventor , geometer , musician , and painter . He has been described as the archetype of the " Renaissance man " and as a universal genius , a man infinitely curious and infinitely inventive . He is considered one of the greatest painters who ever lived . " Mona Lisa " , da Vinci ' s famous portrait of an Italian noblewoman , has been featured or spoofed in many Muppet productions and merchandise items . Jim Henson ' s earliest use of the " Mona Lisa " is in the 1965 short film " Time Piece " , in which the main character shoots the painting . Another frequently parodied da Vinci work is the " Vitruvian Man " , a diagram of a nude male figure meant to illustrate the correlations of ideal human proportions .
Wilkins and Wontkins Wilkins and Wontkins were the Muppet stars of one of the earliest , and perhaps longest running , commercial series made by Jim Henson , appearing in 8 second spots for Wilkins Coffee . Wilkins was a smiling character named for the coffee , and Wontkins was his generally dour counterpart , a grumpy blob who couldn ' t stand the Wilkins brand . Wilkins would be a strong proponent of drinking Wilkins Coffee , and would attempt to convince Wontkins to drink it , too . Wontkins however , almost always refused , leading Wilkins to maim , destroy , assault , and sometimes kill Wontkins over his dislike of Wilkins Coffee . Wontkins , however , occasionally would admit that he liked Wilkins Coffee . Throughout the ads , Wontkins never smiled , unlike Wilkins . Wontkins was named as Wilkins ' opposite : they either " will " or " won ' t " drink the coffee . If you won ' t , bad things will happen to you . A typical commercial would go like this : The repeated abuse would sometimes lead Wontkins to try and outsmart Wilkins by proclaiming his love for Wilkins Coffee , but Wilkins would generally see through this and pummel Wontkins anyway . This no - win scenario sometimes made for commercials like this : Sometimes , nothing happened to Wontkins . This happened in very few commercials . One example of this is : The characters proved so popular that in October 1958 , the company offered vinyl puppets of Wilkins and Wontkins through the mail for $ 1 . 00 and a coffee can label . The offer on the can said , " Hey Kids ! I ' m Wilkins and he ' s Wontkins - - you see us on TV ! " These puppets are difficult to find today . Years later , Community Coffee offered hand puppets of the characters . The pair were also used in ads for other products , including Wilkins tea , and assorted other brands , and established a basic pattern which would be reflected in later commercial teams , such as Scoop and Skip , Tommy and Fred , and Mack and Suzy . Rebuilt versions of the puppets were on display in the touring exhibit " Jim Henson ' s Fantastic World " , while the original puppet for Wilkins has been donated to the Smithsonian .

The tube - like characters who perform the number have become known as " Javas , " appearing as such in touring exhibits . Fan popularity gave rise to their action figure incarnations having been packaged with the Lips Action Figure by Palisades Toys .
