The Energizer Bunny is one of the most iconic mascots in advertising history. Since the late ’80s, this relentless, drum-beating pink rabbit has marched across TV screens in sunglasses and flip-flops, banging his drum and “going and going and going…” But now, a surprising memory discrepancy has emerged—one that many people swear by.
The Memory
In the collective memory of countless viewers, the Energizer Bunny wore his battery like a backpack. People remember the battery being mounted on his back—similar to how a power source might be carried by a robot or a jetpack. This “battery backpack” memory is so clear to some that they even describe the way it jutted out as he walked or drummed.
The Reality
In reality, the battery has never been on the Energizer Bunny’s back. From his debut to his most recent appearances, the battery is strapped to his leg, not carried like a backpack. It’s always been attached to the side of his leg, just above the ankle—clearly visible but not where many remember it being.
