Duracell Bunny - Wikipedia

really don’t like him

wait, apparently duracell bunny is the original, and energizer bunny is a later parody. but duracell’s lawyers completely blew the trademark case in the US?

my world view is absolutely crumbling

imagine if someone who looks like you but with cool shades and way more swag moved to your town, and is so much better that everyone forgets your name and then a jury of your peers exiles you to south america. that's basically what happened to duracell bunny
