Review on Scrub Daddy Sponge Set: Scratch-Free Scrubbers for Dishes and Home - Deep Cleaning, Multi-use - 6 Pack - Odor Resistant - Dishwasher Safe - Soft in Warm Water, Firm in Cold by Polo Bradley

I've been using Scrub Daddy for almost a year and have bought them twice from Amazon and I also buy them from Target or Walmart. The sponge is quite hard and stiff in cold water and softens in warmer water. After repeated use (around 2-3 weeks) it usually starts to crumble/break up into small pieces and it's time to throw it away. Overall this is a great sponge that never smells and washes dishes well. The second pack I just bought (2 packs) seems different to me (28 Aug 2019). The sponges are stiff in the pack like a regular sponge, but will soften up immediately after soaking in cold or hot water, just like a regular sponge. This batch is very different from any other Sponge Daddys I've used and is like your regular synthetic sponge that you can find anywhere. I have a suspicion that this product is not a real brand, but a cheap fake. I've read countless Amazon reviews of fakes with identical brand packaging, so I'm pretty sure it's possible. If I wanted a cheap imitation I would buy from Alibaba. Attention buyers. And Amazon, please test your products before you launch them! Will most likely buy them again from Target and Walmart.
