@@SquirrelDriving Duracell made the pink bunny first, then Energizer made a parody of it which would eventually become synonymous with the brand. Forcing Duracell to make their pink bunny available only in international advertisements.
I've been using energizer lithium batteries loyalty for years now. They do honestly pay off in the long run. It's crazy how long they'll last. I know a remote is a bad example because they last forever in general but my son's tv I bought him in 2012 still has the the same two energizer lithium aaa batteries.
What made the Energizer Bunny so memorable when they first started using it was that it would "break into" other commercials. The clip you showed alluded to it. It was "escaping" the set. Then same block, another ad would play (for a fake product) that was interrupted by the bunny. It was fairly novel and made the Energizer rabbit iconic in the states. Before that, Energizer used an Australian bodybuilder named Jacko. We were going through an Australian phase at the time.
The series of commercials ran during the Superbowl. It wasn't just one fake commercial either. It was like three of them in a row! Each time they looked like real commercials for other products then BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "Still going!" 🐰 🥁 Awesome!
I remember the ads for Energizer where the bunny would randomly interrupt ads for other products too. At first he would interrupt Cat Chow commercials but then he would interrupt ads for fake products.
I remember a few of these happening. You would start out with a commercial, sometimes even an already known one, and then the "Energizer Bunny" would come into it. Very interesting ad campaign. But I still trust Duracell more. Have literally had Energizer flashlights fail when needed, and then switched to Duracell. Would never go back, regardless of silly marketing.
Here in the UK the phrase "Duracell Bunny" is commonly used to refer to someone or something with seemingly boundless energy. I've heard the phrase "Energizer Bunny" a couple of times before, but honesty, I just assumed people had got the wrong brand!!
A lot, and I mean A LOT of off brand batteries are really just Energizer batteries that have been labeled with someone else label. I saw this while working at a Energizer plant :D
Interesting, we mostly buy Ikea, Colruyt, Geonaute (Decathlon) and Panasonic batteries. I wonder where they all fit in in the industry. I feel like the first three are all produced by a different company and Panasonic makes their own ones.
Funny you say that...but just wondering the other label batteries are they the ones that don't meet spec and just relabelled? Sorta like intel does for the waste of a chip Celeron???
Energizer used the same cores that would go into their batteries. Rayovac labels would be used for test cores (testing for leaks) and be backdated to their original production date when ran.
There are only so many complaints that make one type of thing. They have their name brand and also make whatever it is for many other companies under their own brand name. I work at a food factory and it’s the same. I won’t mention what we specialize in.
Imagine Duracell getting the bunny lawsuit ready, huge briefcase of papers and video proof to bring to court.... then John the legal guy walks in "hey guys, I , ummm, hope you are having a good day... Actually I was about to renew that trademark! but it looks like it slipped my mind!?! (wipes sweat from brow).... Maybe we can ask Energizer to share?" And shockingly it works and he keeps his job...
@@setcheck67 I used to get sunbeam. Even Giant Eagle Grocery brand last longer then them. I cant even go a couple days without having to replace sunbeam.
Ray-O-Vac used to be the cheap competition for Eveready, interesting that they have now been bought out by the latter. When buying Duracells, check where they are made. American-made Duracells (and I think European-made ones) last, but the ones made in China (even with legit Duracell trademarks) wear out in a few days.
Dude lol its hella funny that energizer came in with a big drum and sunglasses like move tf over, THEN it walks out of the commercial... whoever invented that commercial is a genius
I'm old enough that I remember them as "Mallory Duracells" and "Eveready Energizers". The distinction was that ALKALINE batteries were the EXCEPTION, not the rule. LOL.
@@jamesslick4790 It's kind of sad that older people can't make a comment about "back in my day" without being called a boomer. It's just so toxic and edgy.
I bought a big pack of Rayovac a few years ago because it was a lot cheaper and I just assumed all batteries are basically the same. I was wrong. They were noticeably awful and did not last anywhere near as long as Duracell or Energizer. It's worth it to spend the extra money, or better yet buy rechargeable instead. They have improved quite a bit over the years. Eneloop work pretty well.
Duracell: Trusted Everywhere The commercial with the first responders using Duracell always stuck in my mind way more than the bunny commercials from energizer.
Duracell probably gives the first responders those batteries for free so they can use it as truthful advertising material. The batteries are almost certainly checked every week, if not every day, so they could probably use the cheapest, crappiest batteries they could buy and still be fine.
Also, the game "Alan Wake" is the absolute worse advertisement for Energizer I've ever seen. The game is full of Energizer batteries that you need to pick up for your flashlight, but they only last a few minutes before dying. Why did Energizer want their name on that? Did they want to look bad? 😂
My dad worked for Duracell batteries his entire working life. I can remember seeing some of those toys, including the pink bunny, in display cases in the lobby of the headquarters when I was little. So many times in my life I have told friends that the Energizer bunny came from Duracell bunny and most don’t believe me until they look into it for themselves. Thanks for another great video!

@@standupyak Why should he be joking? They don't generally play commercials from other countries in the US... I VAGUELY remember seeing a bunny in a Duracell commercial in India like 20 years ago, but otherwise, I only associated the pink bunny with Energizer. "It keeps going and going and going..." *beats drum*
So Im Venezuelan and I thought the “Duracell” bunny was a weird fever dream from my childhood. I came to the US a long time ago so somehow for me the pink bunny was Energizer but I had this weird idea of watching that bunny with the Duracell logo somewhere. Thanks for pointing out.
Back through the '90s and into the early part of the 21st Century, I was part of Duracell's R&D efforts. - Definitely the second best job I've ever had. The Battery/Packaged Power business is very competitive, and is constantly churning. There's a lot of scrutiny on advertising claims, and various performance characteristics will seesaw back and forth between the manufacturers for superiority. (By the way, validation of claims is done by independant laboratories, although our own work would give us the qualitative results. We would not inform the independants about our results) I'll not get into the technical discussions here, but I'll add a few points - The Private Labels are, for the most part, produced by the Big Three (Now Big Two) on their normal production lines. There's an interesting synergy between batteries and razors - Manufacturing. Processes differ qute a bit, of course, but both markets have a lot of churning, and the ability to manage changes in manufacturing methods and including upgrades requires a particular set of manufacturing skills to be able to quickly and flexibly retool. And, a Bunny Comment - We noted, in the mid-90s, that whenever nergizer came up with a new commercial, our sales increased. Our watchword was "They have better commercials, we have better batteries."
@@maxonmendel5757 yeah. Too bad I've never seen a rechargeable Duracell. They probably exist, but I know and use Energizer rechargeable batteries, and since you can recharge those, I don't have to buy more, or look for Duracell rechargeables.
Came here not to throw up from a different video and this one was first in my recommended, but not disappointed. Editing is fun, writing is informative and I stuck around to the end. Good video, and I’ll subscribe.
In the UK, for my whole life I have always seen the Duracell Bunny. When I went to Canada and the US last year, I needed batteries but I forgot the name of the battery so I asked for a battery at the story and they gave me energizer. I was so confused and it did make me laugh 😂
Fun fact: the bunnies play drums because “batterie” is French for drum! That’s why I’m an American who knows about the two bunnies, because of French class lol
5:29 the difference between carbon batteries and alkaline is that alkaline will supply a substantial amount of current at the same voltage per cell. This means brighter lights, faster photo flash recharging....remember cameras were a thing back then and the electronic photo flashes almost required an alkaline battery. The comparing carbon to alkaline chemistry benefits is similar to comparing Alkaline to Lithium Ion batteries of today.
@Punished Aniquin Yes, they made cards and then toys and games too. Then video games happened. Nintendo should be credited for being able to adapt to changing times so well.
@@lobsteroverrun Kind of? It was an oversight from their part to let the trademark expire. They didn't use the bunny anymore. Is it fair for someone to keep something forever if they're not even going to use it?
@@Miguelthedestroyer I didn't spell it with a capital G for a reason, so to imply the general god and not the specific one. Hope this clarifies the misunderstanding.
I grew up in Mexico and I vividly remember a time when both the Energizer and Duracell pink bunnies were being featured simultaneously in their respective commercials. Being so close to the US and yet often not quite considered as part of North America, I'm guessing that for a time Mexico was a bit of a grey area when it came to their mascot's trademark. Been living in the US for many years now so I don't know what the situation is now. Still, it was interesting living in a time and a place where both mascots where directly competing and leaving a younger me wondering who was ripping off who.
I was a kid in the seventies. I remember the Duracell bunny campaign and when Energizer introduced their bunny as a jab at Duracell. Thanks for covering that. Nobody believes it when I tell it.
I'm chilean and the first time I saw "DIE HARD" and heard John McClane saying "No, but I'm a f*****n energizer bunny" I thought to myself "You mean a duracell bunny?"
Estaba chupando chelas con unos amigos y les dije 'sí, no me muero nunca, soy el conejo de Energizer' (Die Hard with a vengance) Me respondieron: 'El conejo 'e Duracell, aweonao!!!' Waajajaajajja
Almost all private brands are made by ENR or DUR using a previous year's 'recipe'. Notice how Coppertops and Max have a 10 year shelf life while private brands commonly have 8... Its literally last year's batch with a different coat wrapper.
Wow, this video was FAR more interesting than I was expecting! The ridiculous Duracell identity crisis with a new owner every year, Energizer imitating them, both pink bunnies, and the intense competition between both companies that are both already winning. Since they both dominate the battery market, there’s no need for them for fight since they’re both extremely successful. I’ve always liked the color and look of the Energizer batteries and the iconic mascot, but they’re both good. Great video! 👍🏻
Let’s be real here: most people don’t care about what battery they r buying. They will just choose the cheapest battery pack from Energizer or Duracell that is offered at the store.
I knew about the bunny battle between the two. I remember going to China and seeing Duracell commercials with those happy-faced bunnies in all of them, and I found it strange, so I did some research and dug up what you presented here. It's amazing how Energizer's original purpose in using the bunny was to mock Duracell, and now (at least in North America), they've become associated with the bunny.
I remember that Energizer Bunny commercial making fun of the Duracell bunny, never knew it was the Duracell company, it's like when The WWF (World Wrestling Federation) and the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) went to court
Duracell: Hippity Hoppity, the pink bunny’s our property. To make everyone happy, here you go: .ytreporp ruo s’ynnub knip eht, ytippoH ytippiH :rezigrenE
I’m used to the energizer bunny, and I have to say he is cuter. I hope they win the bunny battle😂🤣😭 the judges must be so tired about hearing that case
yeah i only remember seeing duracell and varta as the big label battery brands whenever i buy batteries, everything else is usually a cheap store version
Duracell batteries leak more when left in devices over a long period of time. So I generally use energizer for anything that I use infrequently (like flashlights).
That's interesting, I was going to comment the exact opposite with the ones in my market, so I use Duracell. I even saw some Energizers that had leaked in the packaging while still in the store.
@@j.andrebest2781 It's definitely worth investigating at least. In my personal experience, I've seen all types of batteries leak, but duracell batteries leak almost 10:1 over other batteries that I've used. Also, when most batteries leak, you get a little corrosion on one end. But with duracell's, I've seen a higher likelihood of dramatic, destructive leaking where the battery ends up deeply caked in place. It would be interesting to run an experiment.
Hey I knew I wasn't crazy. I remember seeing Duracell bunny as a kid (I grew up in Asia) but when I moved to Canada the bunny is now associated with Energizer. I thought I was just remembering things wrong for years!

I've had better luck with Energizer. They seem to last longer than all other batteries, so I stick with them. Of course, from a scientific standpoint, I've no idea what I'm talking about...
Funny, back in the 70s, cheap audio mfgs would add weights inside speaker cabinets to compensate for thinner cabinetry, and lower quality and mass woofers. Everyone knows if it's heavier, it's better quality.... Right?

Don't you mean DUOPOLY? A Monopsony is where there is only 1 buyer and many sellers and a Oligopsony is where there are only a few buyers (e.g. 2 is normally the case) and many sellers so in a Job market the largest employer in town employs 2000 people then they are a monopsony if the town's economy heavily relies on people employed at this company, with an oligopsony just add a few more companies. A Duopoly is where there are only 2 sellers or only 2 companies hold at least 80%-90% market share and many buyers (i.e. consumers buying batteries from either Duracell or Energiser. In your case of how PepsiCo and Nabisco own most of the foods you eat would be a Duopoly (assuming their market share is >80%) else they're an oligopoly with other companies coming in distant 3rd and 4th place.
I’ve used Duracell all my life and have only used energizer a few times but I personally like the look of Duracell better but I never really noticed a difference in battery quality.
The Duracell pink bunny is much cuter and I've seen him ever since I was a kid so I prefer him, but I must admit the Energizer ad was savage. They kinda deserve to keep the mascot 🤣
When I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, I only ever remember my parents buying Duracell. I also never know that Duracell used a pink bunny mascot. I definitely associate the pink bunny with Energizer.
In countries like India using bunny girls for advertising would not be taken well and would hurt the brand. Which is why I have only ever seen the pink bunny😂
I used to be a Duracell guy. I lived through all those add campaigns and experienced lots of cheap zinc/carbon batteries through my life. Then a RUclips channel I respect (maybe it was Fran's Lab - I'm not sure) pointed out that while Duracell with "repair or replace" equipment into which one of their batteries leaked, they do, sometimes leak. But the Energizer Max seems never to leak. And the energy is comparable. So that's where I am for now.
Fun fact: If you look closely you'll find a label on Kraft saying "Pasteurized prepared cheese product". Yes, Kraft is still not legally allowed to call their product cheese.
Enerjak In Australia, regulations say that unless a bread has a minimum wheat content then it cannot be sold as "bread", so that's all legal technicalities.
Where I live here in Utah, USA, they used to call it "Kraft American process cheese food. They have since dropped "food", and now call it "Kraft American process cheese product". We joke about it, claiming that according to the FDA, it doesn't meet the qualifications of "food"! It is marked as "Kraft singles" referring to the individually wrapped slices.
@@mandalorian_guy Yes; there are Kraft cheeses beyond the processed cheese but the latter is so well known, we tend not to notice the others. At where I am the regular Kraft cheeses are not something more "de luxe" though.
Now that I know Duracell bunny is og, I'm not going to buy Energzier anymore. Greetings from EU where Duracell bunny has been meme for long as I remember.
Duracell's American aesthetic is much more appealing to me Duracell: Tough as steel batteries that'll last over a million times longer than you in bed, sleek design, badass-sounding name and professional-feeling Energizer: Hee hee pink bunny
@@aaabbhddgf Depends on the person. You see, those who commit very brave and risky actions are upgraded to balls of steel. For example, this guy: ruclips.net/video/8uJouw9uh84/видео.html
As a teen i carried a walkman everyday. i used to get carbon batteries because they were cheaper, and never knew the difference. Once when alkaline was the only thing available, I got some and never went back. After years of using two AA alkaline batteries for a walkman, I think the difference between any AA alkaline is minimal, and POSSIBLY those two are superior in actual quality, but not by impressive measures. Love the Silhouette!

Did not know Duracell had the pink bunny elsewhere (Greetings from America). The more you know.

@@soupdoggo__ ur joking
@@standupyak Why should he be joking? They don't generally play commercials from other countries in the US... I VAGUELY remember seeing a bunny in a Duracell commercial in India like 20 years ago, but otherwise, I only associated the pink bunny with Energizer.

For the last few years, I only use AmazonBasics batteries. They last almost as long but they're wayyyy cheaper and come in much higher quantities.
You can always buy a charger and rechargable batteries , you'll save a lot of money
Same! I've used those batteries for years now, perfect for me.
I have like 10 rechargable AA bateries. They are energizer and 1 generic brand

CompanyMan's channel is just plain awesome. Seriously.
So Im Venezuelan and I thought the “Duracell” bunny was a weird fever dream from my childhood.
I came to the US a long time ago so somehow for me the pink bunny was Energizer but I had this weird idea of watching that bunny with the Duracell logo somewhere.
Thanks for pointing out.
im still in vzla and when i saw the energizer bunny i was like "something is weird in that bunny"
@@engeldiaz1237 he’s a traitor 🤣
You thought you had a Mandela effect
@@engeldiaz1237 That’s how I feel about the Duracell bunny, I can’t help but see him as a mockbuster version
Mielda chamo :v
Back through the '90s and into the early part of the 21st Century, I was part of Duracell's R&D efforts. - Definitely the second best job I've ever had.
The Battery/Packaged Power business is very competitive, and is constantly churning. There's a lot of scrutiny on advertising claims, and various performance characteristics will seesaw back and forth between the manufacturers for superiority.
(By the way, validation of claims is done by independant laboratories, although our own work would give us the qualitative results. We would not inform the independants about our results)
I'll not get into the technical discussions here, but I'll add a few points -
The Private Labels are, for the most part, produced by the Big Three (Now Big Two) on their normal production lines.
There's an interesting synergy between batteries and razors - Manufacturing. Processes differ qute a bit, of course, but both markets have a lot of churning, and the ability to manage changes in manufacturing methods and including upgrades requires a particular set of manufacturing skills to be able to quickly and flexibly retool.
And, a Bunny Comment - We noted, in the mid-90s, that whenever nergizer came up with a new commercial, our sales increased. Our watchword was "They have better commercials, we have better batteries."
I think Duracell really wins in branding. their batteries just LOOK so premium.
Good comment. Now I'm curious what the best job you ever had is lol
Yeah, great insight. Thanks. So, do you have any insight on how different the quality would be for the cheap brands (like Amazon Basics)?
@@maxonmendel5757 yeah. Too bad I've never seen a rechargeable Duracell. They probably exist, but I know and use Energizer rechargeable batteries, and since you can recharge those, I don't have to buy more, or look for Duracell rechargeables.

In the UK, for my whole life I have always seen the Duracell Bunny. When I went to Canada and the US last year, I needed batteries but I forgot the name of the battery so I asked for a battery at the story and they gave me energizer. I was so confused and it did make me laugh 😂
Energizer stole duracells mascot
Fun fact: the bunnies play drums because “batterie” is French for drum! That’s why I’m an American who knows about the two bunnies, because of French class lol
The Spanish word for drummer is "baterista" and the English word for beating the dog shit out of something is "battery" so.... It's not just French.
In Brazil we have a similar case: "Bateria" means battery and drums.
I read somewhere that it comes from the latin word battuere, that mean to beat, meaning that batteries and beaters have a shared history.
Cool fact!
Tambour is the word for drum in French. Batterie means drum kit.
“They called it a hand held electric torch but it was a flashlight”
Erm. We still call them torches over here in the lands of the Duracell Bunny.
Over here in brazil we call them lamps
5:29 the difference between carbon batteries and alkaline is that alkaline will supply a substantial amount of current at the same voltage per cell. This means brighter lights, faster photo flash recharging....remember cameras were a thing back then and the electronic photo flashes almost required an alkaline battery.
The comparing carbon to alkaline chemistry benefits is similar to comparing Alkaline to Lithium Ion batteries of today.
Alkalines, don't leak so fast when they've run out, so the equipment is safer from leak damage for longer

Okay, but in all fairness, can you blame Duracell for saying “wtf guys we made that first!”?
@@lobsteroverrun Kind of? It was an oversight from their part to let the trademark expire. They didn't use the bunny anymore. Is it fair for someone to keep something forever if they're not even going to use it?
Please don't say God's name in vain, and also capitalize the G in God's name.
@@Miguelthedestroyer I didn't spell it with a capital G for a reason, so to imply the general god and not the specific one. Hope this clarifies the misunderstanding.
I grew up in Mexico and I vividly remember a time when both the Energizer and Duracell pink bunnies were being featured simultaneously in their respective commercials. Being so close to the US and yet often not quite considered as part of North America, I'm guessing that for a time Mexico was a bit of a grey area when it came to their mascot's trademark. Been living in the US for many years now so I don't know what the situation is now. Still, it was interesting living in a time and a place where both mascots where directly competing and leaving a younger me wondering who was ripping off who.
They both are powerless in the face of the mighty PKCELL.
Oh my pkcell

Duracell is what you get when someone tells you to get batteries

Wow, this video was FAR more interesting than I was expecting! The ridiculous Duracell identity crisis with a new owner every year, Energizer imitating them, both pink bunnies, and the intense competition between both companies that are both already winning. Since they both dominate the battery market, there’s no need for them for fight since they’re both extremely successful. I’ve always liked the color and look of the Energizer batteries and the iconic mascot, but they’re both good. Great video! 👍🏻

@@companyman114 I'm a big fan of yours, you make great videos.

Never ever heard of the brand Energizer. I do remember the commercials from Duracell with the pink bunny.
I'm from germany and my mum always told me about the Duracell Bunny. I never knew that Energizer had a Bunny too
Never would have thought that Energizer also a pink bunny.
I remember the Duracell commercials with all the bunnies drumming at the same time but I never knew they made a mascot out of it.
Let’s be real here: most people don’t care about what battery they r buying. They will just choose the cheapest battery pack from Energizer or Duracell that is offered at the store.
Unless you have ocd and you want all the batteries in your box to be the same color.
I work for a company that needs to replace batteries frequently, from my experience Duracell last way longer than energizers
Reason why I go with AmazonBasics batteries. Lasts just about as long in my experience, and so much cheaper, especially in bulk.
@@computernerdinside AmazonBasics batteries are just more worth the money.
Amazon rechargeables 👍🏾
I was hopping to see which battery last longer, but instead given a history lesson.
I find energizer to last longer, but at least not corrode…that matters more to me than longevity. I live in a somewhat humid climate.
I knew about the bunny battle between the two. I remember going to China and seeing Duracell commercials with those happy-faced bunnies in all of them, and I found it strange, so I did some research and dug up what you presented here. It's amazing how Energizer's original purpose in using the bunny was to mock Duracell, and now (at least in North America), they've become associated with the bunny.
Duracell is the guy who made the joke. Energizer is the one who said it louder in class.

Here in Europe we have Varta, they make some good batteries, though whenever I can I go for Duracell. Also IKEA makes some pretty common batteries
Duracell’s leak.
quick googling, seems like they're made by FDK, a subsidiary of Fujitsu (that was very little googling, however)
Ikea batteries rock, they are cheap as fuck and come in a big package.
yeah i only remember seeing duracell and varta as the big label battery brands whenever i buy batteries, everything else is usually a cheap store version
Duracell batteries leak more when left in devices over a long period of time. So I generally use energizer for anything that I use infrequently (like flashlights).
That's interesting, I was going to comment the exact opposite with the ones in my market, so I use Duracell. I even saw some Energizers that had leaked in the packaging while still in the store.
@@j.andrebest2781 It's definitely worth investigating at least. In my personal experience, I've seen all types of batteries leak, but duracell batteries leak almost 10:1 over other batteries that I've used. Also, when most batteries leak, you get a little corrosion on one end. But with duracell's, I've seen a higher likelihood of dramatic, destructive leaking where the battery ends up deeply caked in place.
It would be interesting to run an experiment.
I find Duracell to be better, could just be placebo though. They look low-key sexy.

I've had better luck with Energizer. They seem to last longer than all other batteries, so I stick with them. Of course, from a scientific standpoint, I've no idea what I'm talking about...
I have a preference for Duracell and the reason why is the silliest reason ever: They feel heavier when I hold them.
I...get that. I trust it more for some reason.
Lithium ion is lighter though...
Funny, back in the 70s, cheap audio mfgs would add weights inside speaker cabinets to compensate for thinner cabinetry, and lower quality and mass woofers. Everyone knows if it's heavier, it's better quality.... Right?
How about they just look legit 🙂
I live in Colombia for 30 years and never in my life i knew Energizer had a similar Pink Bunny.... We all grew up with Duracell commercials with their bunny i just found out about this right now i feel Flabbergasted... Bamboooozled..... Swindled
Ah, I love the hidden monopsony. It’s like how pepsi and nabisco own most foods i eat.
It doesn't stop there. Nestle has products in everything, Mars has products in everything, and really just everything gravitates towards a monopoly.
@ Now you're just flexing your salary...
Meanwhile google is in trouble right now for having a monopoly on advertising
Don't you mean DUOPOLY? A Monopsony is where there is only 1 buyer and many sellers and a Oligopsony is where there are only a few buyers (e.g. 2 is normally the case) and many sellers so in a Job market the largest employer in town employs 2000 people then they are a monopsony if the town's economy heavily relies on people employed at this company, with an oligopsony just add a few more companies.
A Duopoly is where there are only 2 sellers or only 2 companies hold at least 80%-90% market share and many buyers (i.e. consumers buying batteries from either Duracell or Energiser.
In your case of how PepsiCo and Nabisco own most of the foods you eat would be a Duopoly (assuming their market share is >80%) else they're an oligopoly with other companies coming in distant 3rd and 4th place.
I kinda hate it tbh. No innovation. Although Tesla has been doing a lot of work on batteries lately

I’m in and from the UK and I’ve known the Duracell Bunny all my life and never knew the USA had Enerigiser pink bunnies 🤣🤣
@Music Of The Arts1234567890a really! Go away Karen!!!!!
as an american, i never knew there was a duracell bunny, only the energizer one lol
@@UserName-ts3sp This was fascinating for me as I’ve been to the states soooooo many times and just never noticed.
Before today, I had never even heard of the Energizer bunny. Fascinating.
As a North American the Energizer bunny is not only cooler, but looks better. The actual batteries themselves are both great.
I think the opposite is true... (I'm not American)
I’ve used Duracell all my life and have only used energizer a few times but I personally like the look of Duracell better but I never really noticed a difference in battery quality.
This is war. The nukes have been launched. Your ugly bunny will die in cleansing fire
I agree
Duracell for the win.
I'm gonna run to the bomb shelter now
The Duracell pink bunny is much cuter and I've seen him ever since I was a kid so I prefer him, but I must admit the Energizer ad was savage. They kinda deserve to keep the mascot 🤣
The longest lasting and most powerful battery is the energizer ultimate lithium.
Yeah for sure 12$/2 cell
Amazons lithium ones are a bit cheaper though, if you really need a lithium one. Damn they can get costly.
@@RealMaxoou262 It's well worth the cost for how long they last. I bought the lithium ones 6 years ago and they still work great.
Think there is one that will last in an xbox controller
That pink bunny story blew my damn mind. I'm in the US. It keeps going, and going, and going, and going, and going.
...to the border. Then it turns around
10:40 Doesn't the Energizer bunny look oddly like a pink version of Chester Cheetah? Is it just me?
Yeah, their facial features are really similar. But the designs are different enough to me.
I never realized until you just said that but damn, they do!!
And the camel from the Camel cigarette ads from back in the day
Tons of 80s/90s commercials just slapped some sunglasses on a character and thought it would appeal to people. Turns out...it did.
When I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s, I only ever remember my parents buying Duracell. I also never know that Duracell used a pink bunny mascot. I definitely associate the pink bunny with Energizer.
In countries like India using bunny girls for advertising would not be taken well and would hurt the brand. Which is why I have only ever seen the pink bunny😂
Used to burn through AA batteries on my gameboy like crazy.
Game Gear used 6 AA batteries in 3 hours.
Had the same problem with the wii controls.
Ah yes those were the days.
Facts....ah the memories
@@SansAziza I had a game gear also and I always carried around 12 Duracell batteries on me in case they died
I used to be a Duracell guy. I lived through all those add campaigns and experienced lots of cheap zinc/carbon batteries through my life. Then a RUclips channel I respect (maybe it was Fran's Lab - I'm not sure) pointed out that while Duracell with "repair or replace" equipment into which one of their batteries leaked, they do, sometimes leak. But the Energizer Max seems never to leak. And the energy is comparable. So that's where I am for now.
Could you do a video on Spirit Halloween? I'm just curious about them in general, who owns them and puts them up every year and pays for all of that?
Same! i never looked up where Spirit Halloween comes from or how long its been around.
@Amilah Yesireebob that's... Actually pretty much what I expected
@Amilah Yesireebob I saw that much, which was interesting. But it's like... How does their business work?
I would definitely watch that video. Interesting business model.
@@snarkysnarkk4167 It's odd for sure, but I guess they have a role in keeping dead malls economically viable for the property owner.
Always so interesting learning how these large companies get their start
Fun fact: If you look closely you'll find a label on Kraft saying "Pasteurized prepared cheese product". Yes, Kraft is still not legally allowed to call their product cheese.
Enerjak In Australia, regulations say that unless a bread has a minimum wheat content then it cannot be sold as "bread", so that's all legal technicalities.
Kraft Does sell cheese, it's just not the "Singles" line, but the more expensive "Deli Deluxe" line.
Where I live here in Utah, USA, they used to call it "Kraft American process cheese food. They have since dropped "food", and now call it "Kraft American process cheese product". We joke about it, claiming that according to the FDA, it doesn't meet the qualifications of "food"! It is marked as "Kraft singles" referring to the individually wrapped slices.
@@mandalorian_guy Yes; there are Kraft cheeses beyond the processed cheese but the latter is so well known, we tend not to notice the others. At where I am the regular Kraft cheeses are not something more "de luxe" though.
Now that I know Duracell bunny is og, I'm not going to buy Energzier anymore. Greetings from EU where Duracell bunny has been meme for long as I remember.
I couldn't care less about "bunnies". Just give me a battery that won't friggin leak!
That's called a lithium battery....
How long are you leaving them in for?
You know you can say fucking on RUclips right ???
@@erichkaufmann5284 Yes, I can, but choose NOT to.
@@Sc0tt69 I've had a lithium battery leak.
It’s 2am am I have no idea why I’m watching this
After watching I saw your comment and then looked at the clock - seconds went 3.. 2.. 1.. exactly 2am!!! (and I have no idea why I'm watching this)
literally seeing this comment at 2:01am
That’s me right now 2:13
1:48 am here lmao
Duracell's American aesthetic is much more appealing to me
Duracell: Tough as steel batteries that'll last over a million times longer than you in bed, sleek design, badass-sounding name and professional-feeling
Energizer: Hee hee pink bunny
Balls are one of the most sensitive part of the body tho
@@aaabbhddgf Depends on the person. You see, those who commit very brave and risky actions are upgraded to balls of steel. For example, this guy: ruclips.net/video/8uJouw9uh84/видео.html
Not just a bunny...a bunny with SHADES!!
Duracell: NOOO you can't make fun of and improve on our ad!!!
Energizer: pink bunny go brrrrrrr
he he pink bunny on crac
Im from North America and I WAS SHOCKED to hear about the Duracell battery!
When I was a kid I remember seeing Eveready all over the place. They had the cat jumping through the 9 on their 9v batteries.
their red batteries...yes i fondly remember now
@@GarbanzoBeansFan I remember seeing them in everything in the house as well.
As an Australian, seeing the Energizer Bunny is just wrong.
No you wrong... Mama right!
How so
As an American it's vice versa
Same, Duracell bunny all the way
The Duracell bunny just looks wierd
There's an Energizer bunny?! Never new that. The Duracell bunny is so iconic where I live.
That's nuts here the Energizer Bunny is iconic, didn't even know duracell had a mascot
@@genuinealloy8316 same!
It's the second coming of metric vs imperial to me.
Funny cuz I thought the opposite. I was like "there is a Duracell bunny?!" The Energizer one is so iconic.
weird, i thought the exact opposite!! weird how different parts of the world have different ads, that’s kinda cool!
As a teen i carried a walkman everyday. i used to get carbon batteries because they were cheaper, and never knew the difference. Once when alkaline was the only thing available, I got some and never went back. After years of using two AA alkaline batteries for a walkman, I think the difference between any AA alkaline is minimal, and POSSIBLY those two are superior in actual quality, but not by impressive measures.
Love the Silhouette!
