John: So this is not a cleaning product, but this is a product that cleans.
Adam: What is the difference, we wonder?
John: Well, if you remember, I had this thing called a Scrub Daddy. Which was a screwball sponge made out of some very harsh plastic. I found something better. And I don’t even know how it got in the house. I think Jay dropped one off or Mimi told me about them later after I played with it. It’s called a Scrub Buddy.
Adam: Sounds like something you get in Amsterdam at one of those massage parlors.
John: So the Scrub Buddy—there are different versions. If you look up Scrub Buddy, you’ll find they have a store with all kinds of different ones. The ones you want are the cheap ones. It’s like a sponge—an actual sponge—covered on both sides with a kind of envelope of some… I don’t know what plastic this is, but it’s like a Brillo pad. You could scrub your skin off with whatever plastic this is.
But the reason you want it is because—if anybody out there, I know you shouldn’t be doing this, and you have to throw them out after a while, so they’re disposable—but if you have a nonstick pan with whatever coating, at some point, stuff starts to stick to it.
And you have to scrub it off, and you can’t use a Brillo pad or anything.
Adam: No, no, you ruin your nonstick coating, yeah.
John: Not the case with the Scrub Buddy. This thing will take off anything, and it doesn’t hurt the surface. I don’t know what it is, how they’ve done it, what kind of plastic this is—that’s coated, not coated—it’s like an envelope around a sponge. It’s a terrific product. The problem with that compared to Scrub Daddy is, Scrub Daddies you can wash in the dishwasher, clean them. At some point, the Scrub Buddy has to be tossed, because it just does such a great job.
Adam: How many scrubs does the Scrub Buddy do?
John: I think you can do about 10.
Adam: Oh, okay.
John: But these are 10 major.
Adam: Big scrubs.
John: Yeah. Little scrubs? You could do—I don’t know—100. But the big scrubs, where you really get in there and grind something off…
Adam: Wow. What are you cooking, man? You have major scrubs in your nonstick pan?
John: It happens.
Adam: Yeah, I’m confused.
