which one was it with that pink bunny with the drum that’s “keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and…” everybody in the school says it’s energizer, but my friend and i saw these duracell batteries with that bunny on them, with “duracell” going across the drum or something. being in taiwan, of course, there aren’t any ads for either batteries, so i was kinda hoping you american Teeming Millions can help… 🙂

Actually the original “Energizer bunny” commercial was in response to a Duracell commercial which features a whole bunch of toy bunnies beating drums, and of course, the longest lasting toy bunny was the one with a Duracell battery in it.

As long as we’re on the subject, has Consumer Reports or anyone else done a study to determine which is really the better battery?

_Consumer Reports_ has on many occassions, and twice RadioShack’s batteries beat out both. Plus, for NiCd cells, only RadioShack has the true D-size. The others all have a C in a D shell. I used to work for them, and normally I have little good to say about them, but their batteries are good.
