What is the duck toy in mad men that bends into drinks?

It's red and in a couple episodes. I assume it was a toy in the 60's.What is the duck toy in mad men that bends into drinks?I remember these from my childhood in the early 70's,they're called "drinking birds" and were invented by one Miles V. Sullivan and co-developed by George H. Shackley in 1945 and patented in 1946. The device holds U.S. Patent number 2,402,463.



Fun question! I actually learned some interesting information about them from the wikipedia page.
