Boston DUers, I need some leads on duck call thingies...

[Robb]

Bear with me. :)

My ex-boss the chef's restaurant is kind of duck-themed. He vaguely recalls being in Boston a few years ago riding some kind of harbor tour type thing, where they gave everyone in the tour little duckbill-shaped duck calls to quack along as the tour progressed.

He's trying to find out where to buy some to hand out at the restaurant... of course he remembers nothing specific about the tour, only that it was somewhere in Boston and the calls were really cute. :eyes:

Anyone have a starting point for me? :D

1. The tours are called Duck Tours (go figure), you might try

contacting them to see where they buy the marketing gimmickry from :)

on edit:

You can buy the duck "lips" here too, for $4.00 each, which means they probably paid $1.50 each :)

2. Hooray!!

Thanks!

...As he was describing this to me, I thought to myself "Now this is a job for the Lounge if ever I've heard one!" :)

4. If you're ever in Boston, I highly recommend the tour . . .

They're a lot of fun, and the tour guides are very knowledgeable and have great personalities (they're very picky about the people they hire to guide the tours).

3. Just come to a Long Island Ducks game

Minor league baseball is better than steroid baseball anyway, and you get a free quacker plus the chance to pick up 5,000 more in the parking lot after the game! You won't hear the announcer much though. Just quack quack quack quack quack quack quack quack from the happy kids and a lot of adults rolling their eyes. ;)
