Can someone explain to me why these sponges are so popular?
Scrub daddy is good because it lasts much longer than the standard sponge, and you put it in the dishwasher and it keeps going. Scrub mommy is the opposite IMO. It's significantly more expensive than standard sponges while offering nothing different.
So you would say that you're a daddy's boy?
Idk, they're terrible. My guess is because they're cute or whatever. My wife (who never cleans for shit and doesn't see why they suck) seems to buy them for that reason. I'll use em til I can't take it anymore, and get a proper pack of sponges n throw em out.
my mom likes scrub daddies because they don't hold onto moisture in the long term. regular sponges can get gross real quick but these dry out nice
They're decent sponges that last a long time and don't get smelly very easily, and they're also cute.
In my experience they're a bit lacking in abrasive power though.
Idk but can someone else explain why dish brushes aren't the standard?
They last 10x longer than a sponge. They never smell. They keep your hands clean. Again they never smell.
I'm not sure what else needs to be said.
Because they have a catchy name and do guerrilla marketing on Lemmy.
Normally I wouldn't accuse a company of guerilla marketing on a platform as small as Lemmy but that has to be the case here. Has anyone here ever held one of these? It's the perfect shape for not being able to actually scrub stuff. It's so uncomfortable to hold. Just use a normal sponge, or a dishwasher if it's available. They use less water anyway.
Hey, if we don't make micro plastic in our kitchen sinks to wash down the drain, who will?
