Rubber Duck — quite literally a giant rubber duck in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour — has been making waves throughout the city and across the continent since it was installed two weeks ago by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman in the skyscraper-ringed port. Chinese factories say sales of rubber ducks have soared, nearby hotels are advertising rooms that have great “duck views,” and yellow cakes shaped like ducks have been selling like, well, hotcakes.

But the city’s beloved installation deflated overnight on Tuesday, reducing the 54-ft. (16.4 m) duck to something that looked more like a deflated beach ball, “duck soup,” “an unappetizing fried egg,” or a “sad deflated disk.”
