Sponge King

You may have used this sponge before.

We have one in our house to wash dishes. It's amazing because it has that green textured surface on one side and the yellow spongy surface on the other. Basically - it's the perfect sponge.

If you were to peel the green textured surface away, you may notice that the yellow sponge is almost identical to the "eggs" that Burger King uses on their Croissant sandwiches. I discovered for myself on Friday that the Scotch Brite sponge serves much better as a dish cleaning tool than breakfast.

My breakfast selection was simple: egg and cheese croissant sandwich. I have realized this past week that I am not extremely fond of the "sausage patty" which is why I just got egg and cheese. I also ordered a cup of BK Joe coffee.

I get through the drive thru open my bag, and first observe that the croissant is slightly bigger than the egg. I take a bite and......ugh what is that?! I look and blink knowing now that I have bitten into a yellow sponge with cheese. I think - maybe it's my imagination. One more bite, I got a little more cheese this time so it wasn't nearly as bad. The egg was thin, dry and had tiny holes in it like a sponge. I took two more bites and called it quits. I couldn't take anymore.

I drank the coffee........not good. It's too difficult to relive and describe the taste, just know it wasn't any good. Because I paid for it, I demanded on choking it down and got only half way through before throwing my towel in and giving up.

When I got to work I threw the remains of my "breakfast" away. It is the first time I have voluntarily thrown food away that I paid for when I was still hungry. You can probably guess at this point that it was bad - awful. The worst fast food breakfast I have ever had.

I don't know if Burger King really does use sponges for their breakfast sandwiches but I do know that I prefer to eat real eggs for breakfast and leave the sponge for cleaning up afterward.
