IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Please read THIS THREAD about a rebrand for SF.
Poll: What is your favorite sponge?
- Thread starter BarryW
- Start date
Thanks for letting me know about this poll Witty 
And also to @BarryW for posting it 
Definitely love the theme of it (being a “sponge lover” and all, lol :p) and ya I love them all too but for the “official” poll choices I picked:
- sponges for cleaning or painting
- other
My fave kinds of sponges are the ones that only have the soft part without that rough side on them. Also cos for those ones especially I don’t necessarily want them for cleaning or painting…probably shouldn’t say much more than that lol. It has been a really strange and stressful year for me in a lot of ways, so I guess in that way it maybe does make a strange kind of “sense” why I love them so much now. It’s nothing really “freaky” or weird or anything like that, just not a thing you hear a lot of people saying they “love” lol. A big part of it is their texture though for sure
I did some research to see if there were others out there in this sometimes kinda strange/odd world who also love sponges, and read on a site I found that it’s sometimes a thing that happens to pregnant women. Well I’m not pregnant (probably never will be either, by choice) but ya I felt comforted knowing I wasn’t “alone” with loving them so much at least lol :p

They’re very similar, the differences in them is mostly just in “how they’re made”. I found more info about it here if you’re curious to read more about it

Yup I agree about the recipes looking good too for sure. Til I lose some more weight then I definitely cannot be eating cake, when I do lose at least 10-20 pounds (or more, lol) then one of the “rewards” for myself will be getting to eat some kind of cake.Love the pic you posted there too, so true!

Aw ya I love brownies too, definitely understand why they're a weakness for you. Thanks for your kind support/encouragement about my reward of cake once I lose some of my weight, and yup exactly about the deprivation thing. I've done "deprivation" very hardcore before (many years ago now) and ended up just breaking it completely, after 6 months of hardcore dieting. Never again, way too hard lol.
Lol I think they look like corn on the cob sponges too :p I am also curious if they were growing in the garden, cool looking ones anyway, thanks for sharing the pic!
