Reddit created a "horse-sized duck" in reference to the popular Internet question, "Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?" The duck was made entirely from balloons during a two-hour live-stream from the Internet forum's San Francisco headquarters.

The question had become a staple of the site's "Ask Me Anything" events, in which celebrities, politicians and Internet personalities answer questions posed by the Reddit community.
Several web sources, including a Reddit thread asking about the popularity of the question, mention a 2012 AMA with President Barack Obama as one of its most notable appearances.
The balloon duck took more than an hour to assemble and was constructed by Kat and her assistant Colin from San Francisco Balloon Twister.
Once construction was completed, Reddit employees proceeded to destroy it using "laser cats," orange acid and Nerf nails.
