Shower spongey thing

For lunch today I went with my manager to Target to pick up some items and then we ate at Wendy's. It's kind of weird running errands with someone you don't know that well. I like my manager and consider him my friend, but evaluating toothpastes and deodorant, it just didn't feel quite right. Anyway, I limited myself to 3 necessities, all of which were some version of orange. I could have been on one of those artsy Target commercials with my yellow-organge Arm & Hammer detergent bottle, neon orange shower sponge, and orange and white Pepperidge Farms Goldfish carton. My purchase was very pleasing to the eye.

Speaking of which, I can't imagine not using a shower sponge thingy, yet they didn't really come into vogue until maybe the mid 90's, if I recall correctly. Bar soap and a washcloth used to be the norm. Weird. I bet whoever invented that "sponge" is a billionaire. I wonder what the proper term is. Maybe wikipedia will know.
