Scotch Brite Stay Clean Scrubbers

I wanted to use this product for a bit to see how true it is to it's name and I have to admit, Scotch Brite really did the testing on this one.  Although I wouldn't care to have someone with a television camera and a reporter in my kitchen eavesdropping in on my cleaning to find this out.
I have been using the same sponge for a month now and I haven't seen a single sign of food sticking to it and not coming out.  If something does stick then all it takes is a simple rinse under the faucet to wash it off.  And you don't have to worry about getting those little blue pieces of sponge stuck to your dishes/pots/pans only to find them later when you're cooking.
There are only a couple of things I can see some people complaining about, but I don't see them as deal breakers.  It does take a bit more elbow grease to scrub off the tough stuff, but you will eventually get it and soaking the dishes for a bit longer does help with this.  Also, the soap tends to wash out faster and I find myself having to replenish it a bit more often than other sponges but it doesn't take much so it's not really a waste of soap.  If you can look over these factors, like I can, then this would be a good thing for you to use.

Let's go over the pros and cons:

Pros
- No food sticking to the sponge.
- Comfortable cloth-like backing to the sponge to hold on to.
- Rinses out easily so no mildewy or stinky sponges are sitting at the sink.
- Durable.
- Not a lot of soap needed to make a nice suds.
- Not really a selling factor to most, but it is a pretty purple.

Cons
- Need to soak the dishes a bit longer and scrub a bit harder to get the tough stuff off.
- Since it rinses out easily then it goes through soap easily.
