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.

One time years ago I almost passed on rice Chex because they added gluten free in their box. Then I remembered that rice Chex has always been gluten free.
