DUBAI—Appearing excited and starstruck to meet a great icon of the environmental movement, attendees at this year’s COP28 climate conference took turns Monday posing with the duck from the Dawn commercial. “Oh my God, seeing you covered in oil was what inspired me to get into environmental activism in the first place,” said Melissa Spungen, a renewable energy advocate from San Francisco, who posed with the duck for several photos that she planned to show off to friends and family back home. “The moment they put you in a bucket and scrubbed you with dish soap, that really changed the whole game. I’m such a huge fan—I actually have a tattoo of you on my ankle! I don’t want to be too forward, but if you’re not doing anything later, I’ll be up in the bathtub of room 288 with a bottle of Dawn Ultra and a quart of motor oil.” At press time, Spungen was reportedly disappointed after discovering the duck was a bit of an asshole after he got drunk.
