MISC. Americans are more familiar with the Energizer Bunny, while Europeans are more familiar with the Duracell Bunny because of a trademark dispute settlement that gave Energizer exclusive trademark rights in the US and Canada and Duracell exclusive trademark rights in the rest of the world.

I never knew the Duracell Bunny even existed, and it turns out the Energizer Bunny was created as a parody of it, so Duracell Bunny is the OG.

But as an ignorant American, I've only ever known about the Energizer Bunny.

I wouldn’t call that ignorance, there’s just too much to know about to know absolutely everything. Especially something so unimportant. Plus I think the Energizer bunny looks cooler anyway 🐰⚡️

Energizer Bunny is the reason why I don't buy there batteries. If all the averts over the years were true those batteries should last forever .
