Are you sponge worthy?

In Pop Culture by Heidi Nyburg on Thursday, July 19, 2007

Ok, so we were just maxin’ and relaxin’ reading the latest issue of Self magazine when suddenly there it was, shining brightly in pretty shades of pink, staring us right in the face, bringing with it a rush of hormones and horniness happiness, an advertisement for the Today Sponge. That’s right, the Today Sponge is back. Not sure how long it’s been back on the market in the US, but all that matters is that it has returned to us, like a long lost friend.. with benefits. If you love something, have the FDA pull it off the market, if it returns to the shelves, it’s yours, if it doesn’t, it never was.

Here it is in all of its old school glory:

Here she is all snazzed up with a cute avatar and some fancy new typeface, what’s with the Y? Looks like a U with a tail.:

And here is the classic Seinfeld episode where George begs Elaine for a Sponge to use for make-up sex with Susan. “You’ve heard of make-up sex right?” And Elaine gauges her date’s Spongeworthiness…”and you’ll lose the sideburns?”

As for us, we’re breaking out the Barry White, but only after a quick trip to Target to fill our carts! Bow chicka chikca boawww..

As for Seinfeld, great episode!

I loved seinfeld, and I remember the sponge episode and laughing at it, but i never really figured out how the “sponge” did its thing. I guess it’s off to wikipedia for me!! :P
