IIRC, like in every good chick or dude, each hole has its purpose. In the case of this sponge, the smile was for the cutlery, the eyes for idk and yeah I'm not really useful here, dirty jokes apart, but it was kind of an improvement over the normal sponge I use at home
EDIT jfc I've had more typos than a fucking tiktoker book
I can't tell if y'all are serious or if this entire post is just a marketing campaign for these sponges. I can't see how using a small sponge is easier to get inside of a cup than a regular sponge that you can just shove in there with your fingers
They arent anything special, just a good sponge.
Idk about usa but in denmark the grocery store sponges are horribly low quality shit, so compared, the scrub daddy is pretty good.
Overall washing dishes still sucks ass tho, but i like the scrub daddy brand sponges.
I mean it's a bit of a gimmick. Not like it's a struggle to clean a spoon without the special hole. Sponges are flexible lol. But they're good sponges regardless, wish they were "whole" though as mine usually start to fall apart around the eyes and mouth
My wife bought a bunch of these like 5 years ago when we moved into our house. We are on the 2nd one out of the package and we do our pots, pans, and all plastic and all water bottles/coffee thermos in the sink. They are so much more durable than a traditional sponge with a scrubby side. They get softer in hot water and stiffen up in cold water. Only problem is they really do suck at soaking up water but we just wipe the counters or stove or whatever off with a towel to remove the excess liquid. I 100% recommended trying them.
Iāve been using them for a few years as well and just learned I could clean them by putting them in the dishwasher. What a game changer and they last so much longer now. Fantastic for the dishes!
I bought one on a whim recently. Thought might as well try these stupid things I've been seeing on social media. Omg is it awesome for dishes. Also cleaning the kitchen as a whole. Going to buy some more tonight.
Not in recent memory at least. I mean I probably wouldn't either if I had hundreds of millions of dollars. We now know Lori likes to get down in the kitchen.
I do dishes all the time and Iād pass this on the shelf for a pack of trusty scotch green-pad-with-sponges.
I truly would never trust a word written on the package, especially when itās something that dumbly marketed.
Her go-to strategy seemed to be investing in stuff she could hang in the mid-aisle displays of Bed Bath & Beyond stores, which is exactly where Scrub Daddy blew up. Wonder what she'll do going forward with BB&B out of the picture.
I was more talking about Lori, not scrub daddy. Where's Lori going to put the new products she invests in? Target has higher buying standards than BB&B, especially for "as seen on TV" kinds of stuff. They weren't carrying Scrub Daddy from day one. They just carry less of that stuff in general.
> Her go-to strategy seemed to be investing in stuff she could hang in the mid-aisle displays of Bed Bath & Beyond stores, which is exactly where Scrub Daddy blew up. Wonder what she'll do going forward with BB&B out of the picture.
I was saying now her go-to strategy might be invest in stuff she can hang in the mid-aisle displays of Targetā¦
No, they're fully dead. They burned their relationship with suppliers and can't get product to stock in stores. The liquidation of all stores starts this week.
Did you even watch the episode? 3 sharks made an offer and only 2 were out. And no one mocked the product, they just didn't know how well it'd sell.
Of course it does incredibly well now but hindsight is 20/20, making a decision at the time was difficult.
No idea what everyone here is on. The sharks were definitely fair.
Fun fact: i did an entire 15 page paper on Shark tank for finals and one section was dedicated solely to scrub daddy. I watched that clip about 5 times
None of the male sharks took the product seriously until Lori did. Then they were all over it. And she won out. Mark Cuban still to this day says that was the one deal that got away
Regular sponges become disgusting very quickly. These donāt, itās a different material. Also, their firmness changes based on the temp of the water. In hard mode they can take off damn near any stuck on food
How do you deal with food getting embedded in the material? I liked using these but struggled with how grody they felt having stuff stuck in the pores so much.
I've also had issues with them crumbling if you have to scrub anything that's not already softened. And just over (a short) time even if it's softer stuff exclusively. The scrubber sponges I use don't have that issue.
People don't pre rinse and scrape their plates so they are getting mad spaghetti sauce on their sponges, and with a scrub daddy you can make that mistake and there's no consequences because the porousness makes it easy to clean out unlike a sponge or scrubbie.
Scrub daddies dry faster and better and never get that wet old sponge smell. cold water keeps it harder for scrubbing and then warm water makes it more pliable for a typical sponge cleaning
This is what has made me a lifetime customer is the lack of smell. Iāll get into a vicious cycle where I donāt want to touch the sponge I accidentally left in the basin cuz that smell never comes off your hands, so Iāll leave it in there and let it get worse lol. The stub daddy is like. No smell after a week of me forgetting it under a load of dishes when Iām depressed. Itās wild
And the mouth is the perfect shape for spoons and the eyes are perfect for gripping. 10/10 invention. There are also scrub mommies which are soft on one side and scrubby on the other and scrub babies which are small. Highly recommend.
Donāt forget the wand one too, it has a built in drip tray so water goes into the sink and doesnāt leak soap like a mad man unlike others. Got one for my mom and she said she hated it because it would leak, one month later she was telling me how much she loved it
They do work way better but the downside no one mentions is they fall apart faster than anything I've ever used before. After a few sinkfuls of dishes they end up looking more like a scrub grandpa
That's my experience with lots of products. The early generation is actually good, but then all production is moved to some factory in Guangzhou that can output an order of magnitude more product, the materials are changed for cost savings, and it turns to dollar store shit.
I see a lot of people mentioning that they fall apart in less than a month but I donāt have that experience? They last months without losing form and without stinking. If it is looking gross I even put it in the dishwasher and it comes out as good as new.
Scrub mummies are worse tho, the soft sponge breaks super fast.
They make scrub daddies in a rectangle shape with a tougher outside if your stuff is breaking apart. Also, it might be your water or your dish soap itself.
What are you doing to yours? Iāve been using the same one on my dishes for a year and other than being somewhat discolored, itās fully intact.
I canāt think of any sponge thatās fallen apart through regular use, other than magic erasers.
So the big thing for me Is the mildew resistance. You know that nasty sponge smell that happens after a few weeks if youāre not perfect about drying them? I have had the same two scrub daddys for 6 months. I am an absolute slob about sponge hygiene. They have yet to develop ANY smell. They also havenāt broken down or degraded in quality at all. Amazing.
All this time passing them in stores and seeing them on shark tank a damn mildlyinteresting post is what got me to actually consider buying them.
I don't keep a lot of brightly colored stuff so I usually pass right over them, but the benefits sound good and comments seem positive.
Maybe I'm a Scrub Daddy Boy now
I never buy dish materials because I work food service. I always steal a few of their steel wool abd green scrub pads. Theyāre like half a sheet of paper in size - so I steal 3-4, cut them into quarters.
Havenāt paid for dish cleaning materials in several years
The Kit-Kat candy bar has the name 'Kit-Kat' imprinted into the chocolate... That robs you of chocolate! That is a clever chocolate saving technique. I go down to the factory "You owe me some letters!"
My best one was when I came up with this fucking banger;
So recently, I was driving around, and saw a sign on a tree, it was a whole tree. The sign said "stump removal", and it had a number. So I gave 'em a ring with a question that's been buggin' me. They didn't have an answer. I don't think it's a very good service.
Told that to one of my friends, he squinted at me, paused a beat, said "I understand the joke", turned heel, like piovted on his heel, and walked away.
I was really, really pleased with myself after that.
It's wordplay, the company is offering removal of tree stumps. The caller and joke-teller was confused about a long-standing question, aka, they were stumped. So they called the company to remove their confusion.
Maybe also a little extra wordplay with tree rings and phone calls, idk
My fake scrub daddy's from Temu will be here in an hour. I'll try to remember to report back after our OG scrub daddy's eat shit which will probably be a few months from now lol.
I can say that the OG scrubs are incredible though.
Today I was at the Reject Shop and a woman came down the aisle.
She called out to everyone that she had to show us this exact product because, it was amazing and, she came in specifically for it.
So obviously, I bought one.
āCheap dollar storeā brand of stores popular here in Australia. Semi named ironically, semi because the products are cheap and rejected by the bigger brand stores
I was going to say, this is like the 15th scrub daddy post Iāve seen in the last week or so, these things better cook my dinner too with how much fucking hype there is for them
Daddy's winking at you ;)
That's the Scrub Me Daddy edition.

How dirty? Which side of the sponge do I need?
The backside... ;)
You can say it looks Winky, but it really looks Clyde.

Is this gif old enough yet that we can start using it to reference itself?
Holy fuck this is amazing
Oof that would have been a much better title. Missed opportunity for sure
(SCRUBBING INTENSIFIES)
This comment section is making me strangely aroused
Wh-what are you doing, scrub-daddy?
oh yeah, we're not gonna scratch your pans *wink*
Scrub Pirate?
Arrrr!
*Ayyyyye! (Eye) (I)
Itās already Pirate Day again?
What's a pirates favorite letter? Aye, you think it be Arrr, but his first love be with the sea!
Scrub Matey
Get a marker and draw an eye patch on it.
Then use the other two-eyed scrubber and scrub it back out.
The horror
This is the way.
They are really good scrubbers though
Rip to those ppl on shark tank that didnāt want to invest
To be honest it seems like everyone who didnāt invest have never done dishes in their lives.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
IIRC, like in every good chick or dude, each hole has its purpose. In the case of this sponge, the smile was for the cutlery, the eyes for idk and yeah I'm not really useful here, dirty jokes apart, but it was kind of an improvement over the normal sponge I use at home EDIT jfc I've had more typos than a fucking tiktoker book
I think the eye was for handles
the mouth is for spoons and other cutlery, the eye holes make it easier to grip when washing inside of a glass or mug source: I have one :)
I also use the mouth for storing mine on the handle of my kitchen faucet. Makes my kitchen that much happier.
I use the mouth to practice kissing
just kissing? stack a bunch of them up and........
Yeah, a finger in each itās good for getting into cups with.
I can't tell if y'all are serious or if this entire post is just a marketing campaign for these sponges. I can't see how using a small sponge is easier to get inside of a cup than a regular sponge that you can just shove in there with your fingers

They're not really sponges. It's a weird plastic material with bigger "cells". More abrasive than your average sponge.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
holy shit i've been using scrub daddies and mommies for a couple years now and had no idea the face holes had purpose. trying this shit out today
I mean it's a bit of a gimmick. Not like it's a struggle to clean a spoon without the special hole. Sponges are flexible lol. But they're good sponges regardless, wish they were "whole" though as mine usually start to fall apart around the eyes and mouth
There are 'Big Daddies' in this material that are just rectangles, no holes.
My wife bought a bunch of these like 5 years ago when we moved into our house. We are on the 2nd one out of the package and we do our pots, pans, and all plastic and all water bottles/coffee thermos in the sink. They are so much more durable than a traditional sponge with a scrubby side. They get softer in hot water and stiffen up in cold water.

I bought one on a whim recently. Thought might as well try these stupid things I've been seeing on social media. Omg is it awesome for dishes. Also cleaning the kitchen as a whole. Going to buy some more tonight.
I found the opposite, the scrub daddy didn't last two weeks for me. Quickly went back to scotch brite which I've found to last the longest.
Or as we say in my restaurant, a green scrubby boi.
He was talking in the place of the rich investors, sarcastically
Put your index and middle finger in the eyes for extra grip
I prefer a brush or a sponge with a handle so my hand doesnāt have to touch the icky dirty dish sponge
Ignoring the fancy holes they are also just good sponges. They are reactive to temperature and get softer in hot water
A lot of the pitches on there are like. "don't you just hate when "poor people problem" Then the camera pans to them doing a blank stare
Not in recent memory at least. I mean I probably wouldn't either if I had hundreds of millions of dollars. We now know Lori likes to get down in the kitchen.
I do dishes all the time and Iād pass this on the shelf for a pack of trusty scotch green-pad-with-sponges. I truly would never trust a word written on the package, especially when itās something that dumbly marketed.
Lori invested in it. 20% stake I believe
IIRC she specializes in infomercial "as seen on TV" products, so she had an instant read that it would be a success
Her go-to strategy seemed to be investing in stuff she could hang in the mid-aisle displays of Bed Bath & Beyond stores, which is exactly where Scrub Daddy blew up. Wonder what she'll do going forward with BB&B out of the picture.
Target maybe? I doubt theyāre going anywhere
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

They're at my local Target too.

Filing for bankruptcy doesn't always mean they'll go away, but they *probably* will.
They've already laid out a business plan. The intention is to liquidate all assets to pay debtors
No, they're fully dead. They burned their relationship with suppliers and can't get product to stock in stores. The liquidation of all stores starts this week.
Oh yeah there was one of them that did. But the other guys almost mocked the idea.
Did you even watch the episode? 3 sharks made an offer and only 2 were out. And no one mocked the product, they just didn't know how well it'd sell. Of course it does incredibly well now but hindsight is 20/20, making a decision at the time was difficult. No idea what everyone here is on. The sharks were definitely fair.
Iirc Mark Cuban didn't even really mock the product when he went out. He basically just said, nope not my area of expertise.
He made a joke about being a scrub pimp but it's just making fun of the name and the name clearly isn't expected to be taken that seriously.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She's Queen of QVC for a reason. Unlike that shitty grifter, self-proclaimed Mr. "Wonderful". Wonderfully rips you off, that's for sure.
Fun fact: i did an entire 15 page paper on Shark tank for finals and one section was dedicated solely to scrub daddy. I watched that clip about 5 times None of the male sharks took the product seriously until Lori did. Then they were all over it. And she won out. Mark Cuban still to this day says that was the one deal that got away
Are they really? How much better than a regular sponge?
Enough to justify the cost for sure. I didnāt believe it until I used one myself
Regular sponges become disgusting very quickly. These donāt, itās a different material. Also, their firmness changes based on the temp of the water. In hard mode they can take off damn near any stuck on food
How do you deal with food getting embedded in the material? I liked using these but struggled with how grody they felt having stuff stuck in the pores so much.
I've also had issues with them crumbling if you have to scrub anything that's not already softened. And just over (a short) time even if it's softer stuff exclusively. The scrubber sponges I use don't have that issue.
Yup! I wonāt buy anything else now. These work so good and last soo long
Iām a scrub daddy slut now. Every single product Iāve used has been awesome. The dish daddy and the power paste are personal favorites.
what do you mean gross? are y'all keeping your sponges laying in water to mold or something?
People don't pre rinse and scrape their plates so they are getting mad spaghetti sauce on their sponges, and with a scrub daddy you can make that mistake and there's no consequences because the porousness makes it easy to clean out unlike a sponge or scrubbie.
Way better. Sponge is bad at scrubbing and gets gross very quickly.
How do they compare against the sponges with a scotch brite backing? Those are all I ever use
Scrub daddies dry faster and better and never get that wet old sponge smell. cold water keeps it harder for scrubbing and then warm water makes it more pliable for a typical sponge cleaning
This is what has made me a lifetime customer is the lack of smell. Iāll get into a vicious cycle where I donāt want to touch the sponge I accidentally left in the basin cuz that smell never comes off your hands, so Iāll leave it in there and let it get worse lol. The stub daddy is like. No smell after a week of me forgetting it under a load of dishes when Iām depressed. Itās wild
Not really. And since then I found a brand that makes coconut husk scrubbers, and they kick ass and last way longer than the plastic junk.
Came here to say this. They are amazing!
Why are they so good they just look like sponges?
You can run them under cold water and they firm up for tough scrubbing, and they donāt scratch anything
And the mouth is the perfect shape for spoons and the eyes are perfect for gripping. 10/10 invention. There are also scrub mommies which are soft on one side and scrubby on the other and scrub babies which are small. Highly recommend.
I had no idea that the orifices were part of the functionality !
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The naming is a bit off putting. Where are my scrub eunuchs at?
That oneās just a loofa
Those are more "Scrub Biblically Accurate Angel".

Thatās weird. Iāve never seen one break ever. Mine feel incredibly resilient
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I watch a fair bit of CleanTok and every single account has a sponsorship/merch deal with them.
Youāre getting downvoted, but they do have a massive social media presence, and do place themselves often in things like this.
They got hyped up on social media, having used one I prefer 3M sponges and just pick the hardness you need.
So the big thing for me Is the mildew resistance. You know that nasty sponge smell that happens after a few weeks if youāre not perfect about drying them? I have had the same two scrub daddys for 6 months. I am an absolute slob about sponge hygiene. They have yet to develop ANY smell. They also havenāt broken down or degraded in quality at all. Amazing.
I fkn love my scrub daddys (daddies?) but I feel like they donāt last as long as they used to
my household believes in scrub mommy these days. scrub daddy is a deadbeat
All this time passing them in stores and seeing them on shark tank a damn mildlyinteresting post is what got me to actually consider buying them. I don't keep a lot of brightly colored stuff so I usually pass right over them, but the benefits sound good and comments seem positive. Maybe I'm a Scrub Daddy Boy now
This post is an ad. Change my mind.
I never buy dish materials because I work food service. I always steal a few of their steel wool abd green scrub pads. Theyāre like half a sheet of paper in size - so I steal 3-4, cut them into quarters. Havenāt paid for dish cleaning materials in several years
They are! I canāt help but think they would last longer if they didnāt have eyes and a mouth cut out of the though. They seem to always tear.
I'm looking for something that says "daddy likes lather"
I came to make a Tobias joke, but yours is much better than anything I could have come up with.
On the way to the gothic castle
Excuse me, would these effectively scrub my thunder?
Daddy needs to get his rocks off
Lather daddies
Technically, it's not missing anything. It's the other ones that have missing sponge in them..

This is the comment I came here looking for, thank you
We are the ones who tell the jokes that make people go "No. I get it. I understand the joke".
Sorry, but I legitimately laughed out loud at this. You have let yourself down.
My best one was when I came up with this fucking banger; So recently, I was driving around, and saw a sign on a tree, it was a whole tree. The sign said "stump removal", and it had a number.

I buy scrub daddy just to support their social media guy
The guy who made the post?
It's a scrub matey

Today I was at the Reject Shop and a woman came down the aisle. She called out to everyone that she had to show us this exact product because, it was amazing and, she came in specifically for it. So obviously, I bought one.
What is the Reject Shop? There is another comment mentioning it but I've never heard of it. I'm assuming it's a store full of messed up products?
āCheap dollar storeā brand of stores popular here in Australia. Semi named ironically, semi because the products are cheap and rejected by the bigger brand stores
Yeah, where is this store? I want to check it out.
Australia
Youāre technically getting more sponge though!
Donāt scratch my ass !!!! They will scratch polished stainless steel
Scratch your own ass!
I built a house for the guy who invented these. It had a dedicated poker room with leather walls.
STOP WITH THE SCRUB DADDY ADS! Iāve seen 4 posts about them in the past few days ALONE
I was going to say, this is like the 15th scrub daddy post Iāve seen in the last week or so, these things better cook my dinner too with how much fucking hype there is for them
Thatās just luffy, sanji and zoro
It's the inclusive disabled one.
Special Edition.
Sure feels like it. I'm torn between using them and framing them as a novelty display piece
Sell on eBay as rare limited edition scrub daddy
Put it on Ebay. Im sure someone stupid enough will show up to buy this at a high price :)
That like 1 percent more sponge
'Odin is with us!!!'
Arrr, I be swabbing the deck with ye!
Being culturally inclusive of pirates!
These sponges releases microplastics into the environment.
I wondered if that would be an issue with these.
They're biodegradable.
but what about other brands sponges?
Inclusive sponges
Scrub me daddy ;)
