Decided to try these after becoming frustrated now that every other “name brand” sponge falls apart after just 5 uses. And I’m so glad I did. “The proof is in the pudding,” “a picture tells 1,000 words,” etc… just look at the difference! I am so disgusted at what these big companies continue to do to us consumers – shrink the sizes of their goods, severely cut their quality, all while RAISING prices to nearly double! So we PAY MORE for LESS PRODUCT (and in the case of sponges, we are paying more for an inferior product). NOT ANYMORE! Thank you SCRUB DADDY! For reminding us we don’t have to keep throwing our money away! I hate washing dishes (who doesn’t) but your sponges make the chore just a little more enjoyable b/c they still look like they did right out of the package after 20 uses! Just look at the difference – a Scrub Daddy sponge side-by-side w/ a Scotch Brite sponge. Each used to wash dishes 10 times. Which would you choose to spend your money on?
