After the world's biggest rubber duck floated into Toronto this past Friday, the city went nuts. While many we're skeptical why the province dished out $120K for something that didn't seem to symbolize national or provincial pride, many decided to embrace it anyway.

I wanna go on record and say that the giant rubber duck was literally the biggest waste of money and plastic Toronto has committed to.

The six-storey rubber duck set Instagram aglow with many flocking to the waterfront for a photo op. Tens of thousands visited over the course of the weekend to the point where it was difficult to navigate the grounds of the Redpath Waterfront Festival.

I may be the only person in toronto without a photo with the giant rubber duck... 😒
