‘What is this? Scrub family? What is going on?’
When online shopping, purchasing what you think might be a well-loved product on brand-name recognition alone can have cheerfully unintended results. One woman shared how her purchase of a package of Scrub Daddy sponges and scrubbers from Costco Canada was unexpectedly delightful.
Featured Video
In a video with over 582,000 views on TikTok, user @keyosha333 says she purchased a multipack of the sponges knowing that she loved the Scrub Daddy brand. She didn’t realize that she would be bringing the whole Scrub family into her home.
“Oh my god, I ordered Scrub Daddy from Costco, and I see the package. And I recognize that, so I don’t read it any further,” she says in the video. “I just hit ‘order.’ Tell me why the whole family showed up here like it was [an] A&W order? Grandpa, daddy, son, dog? Grandma, mommy, sister, cat? What is this? Scrub family? What is going on?”
The Daily Dot has reached out to @keyosha333 via TikTok direct message regarding the video.
What is Scrub Daddy?
Scrub Daddy is a brand of cleaning supplies that comes in fun shapes, often a smiling face.
The original Scrub Daddy is a hard plastic sponge that softens when exposed to warm water and provides an alternative to traditional scrapers and scrubbers like steel wool. The brand has grown to offer a Scrub Mommy, a dual-sided scrubber and sponge, as well as cleaning solutions and other tools to help keep customers homes sparkling.
What is the ‘Scrub family’?
The Scrub Family is a variety package of shaped Scrub Daddy and Scrub Mommy sponges offered through Costco Canada as a limited-edition item.
As shown in @keyosha333’s video, the variety pack comes with a grandfather, father, son and, dog shape in the Scrub Daddy texture, which softens in warm water and remains stiff in cold water. It also comes with a grandmother, mom, daughter, and cat in the Scrub Mommy texture, which combines the Scrub Daddy scrubber with a soft sponge on one side.
