I feel even better replacing a new or old sponge with a brush that will never get that awful sponge smell
I like the sponge smell
With a long stick attached so you don’t need to touch it
My brush looks like it is wishing for death. I use cloth sponges though and those are great!
Yeah, except I’m 20 :/
The internet has told me you don’t enjoy changing sponges then.
Longest I ever kept a sponge for was four months it was a “I’ll do it later” kind of thing, the green scrubbing part had nearly fully been removed lol.
Fuck sponges. I get a dopamine rush replacing my brush.
I get a dopamine rush fucking sponges.
Hot take: there is no food safety reason to replace a sponge if it’s still good at removing food from dishes. If you remove the food source, and the soap removes whatever is living on the dish, whatever is left over will die due to lack of nutrients and water. It’s why in food safety courses you are taught that dishes have to dry completely. Even a sponge which has been used once will be depositing “new” pathogens onto the dish. Stuff is gonna live in the sponge. The sponge doesn’t kill pathogens. Removal, soap, and desiccation do. The sponge’s job is almost purely mechanical.
There is absolutely a food safety reason to replace a sponge. Most bacteria don’t just die when they’re in dry nutrient poor environments. They desiccate themselves into a spore form. Those spores can stay like that for very long periods of time until their environment becomes more wet. Then they can continue their lifecycle until they dry out again. Dry doesn’t mean sterile.
cleaning a skillet with a sponge and soap?
heathen!
How fragile is your season? A good seasoning holds up great to light abrasion and non-lye soap.
Great mood? Nah
Better mood? Yeah
Meme fits, cause I’m 25.
Well, better mood, yeah 👍.
It doesn’t feel good until after a couple washes
That’s what she said
I get really excited about getting new socks, I think that makes me middle aged.
No joke at a company outing someone pointed out my socks were Darn Tough brand and he lifted up his pants to show his. Then my boss too, and we all talked about socks and lifetime warranties for 5 minutes and holy fuck I’m old. Or at least no longer young.
I actually wore Darn Tough socks today!
Just use a kitchen washcloth instead of a sponge and get a silicon gentle scrubber in addition that you can put in the dishwasher. Less microplastics and more environmentally friendly
i have an irrational fear of the bacteria that live on sponge.

New Sponge Day is my favorite national holiday.
I’ve caught myself being excited about buying a ladder once. I’m officially old.
Bro my happy time place now is hardware stores. Similarly would you believe Lowe’s and home Depot around me both don’t carry garage door track sections? Baffling.
From the thumbnail it looked like moldy toast. I was a bit disturbed.
How did you gess it?
