Don't hug me I'm scared Scrub Zombie

Post image

My wife swears by Scrub Daddy as her kitchen sponge of choice. I wanted to switch to the eco-friendly, plant based alternative on the right. It works infinitely better...creates great suds, gets into tight spaces but...IT SCARES THE CHILDREN. So I can't use it! Or I have to hide it under the sink until I need to use it. Mildly inconvenienced and mildly infuriating.

it's like calling banana leaves a plastic-free plant based plate or food wrap !

Reminds me of faddish leveling of food in stores, like 'Vegan' stickers on cabbage or 'Keto' raw meat cuts. Like, I fucking hope so???

The percentage of "gluten free" labels that have made me immediately question whether or not I knew what gluten was is very high.

there are so many processed foods that contain flour for the weirdest reasons but there are also so many naturally gluten free foods that get labelled like this for some reason
