There’s not much difference between sponges and political parties. Pick a color… any color and then they’ll all start soaking the system for as much as they can suck out of it. Eventually they all smell bad and think they smell like roses.
Ha! I did that too! ... they used to smell real bad.. then someone told me to microwave them periodically , wash them out real well and make sure they get to dry out properly after each use.. set them up sideways .. not laying in a wet dish.. that did the trick!!
Those metal one's were too scratchy for many things!
true. For the non-scratch stuff, I have the finest of steel wool, and for the coated stuff, a special washable dish cloth, that is now 36 or so years old LOL. As to the sponges- I got no microwave.
Participation in the electoral farce is marketed as crucial, but no one has ever offered me so much as a—useful, colourful—sponge, never mind fair compensation for the time and indignities involved. Henceforth, I support the sponges, not the spongers.
I get it. But I use my sponges for different things- blue for baby’s dishes, green for stuff that’s going in the dishwasher, yellow for the stovetop etc. Just a random perspective on sponges for you!
While travelling in South Carolina I picked up a set of orange sponges that smelled like peach. I realized a sponge that smells like fruit is misguided. Sponges should smell like rot. Same with our political parties.

😂 but true!
still using the metal wire sponges. I don't trust these color ones very far. Breeding nests of microbes I think LOL. Only use them for one-use jobs.

Are you channeling or reading O'Henry, aka William Sydney Porter, Rat?

This one was rather inspired by reading Sergey Musanif but yes.
Are those Pride sponges?
I believe they’ve been like this for a long time, longer than Pride has been a thing.

One for each flavor, DEI approved
One of your best!
Politicians = sponges. I see what you did there Rat. And I like it.
When the system is rigged, no sponge can make or will a difference...
Making sponges in different colors allows the user to distinguish between them for different purposes. This can prevent cross-contamination.
Haha!
Oooohhhh! 😂🤣
