How’s it going fellow sponge mobbers? The Sponge Father here reporting from Sunny South Florida! We have a little treat to kick off “The Sponge Mob Exclusives” which will consist of things such as photo galleries or articles that were released exclusively for or by The Sponge Mob members and supporters.

This go around we will be trying to put some basher claims to rest. I do realize this is a location pending experiment, but it will atleast give you a general idea so that you are not to be mislead by any false claims. You most likely have heard bashers stating that locating and purchasing SpongeTech products at retail stores was either lies or was so limited that you would have to drive 40-50 miles just to track a product down. These claims are FALSE and I hope that after coming along with us on this mission it will ease any doubts, concerns or worries.

As mentioned, we are located in South Florida in a fairly small city. Just fyi. Our experiment was to see how long it would take us to track down a SpongeTech product after watching their commercial at home base. Needless to say our “Operation SpongeTech Products” was a SUCCESS!!

SpongeTech claims to have products stocked @ CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, aswell as Ace Hardware to name a few. Well we happen to have 2 walgreens, a CVS and an Ace Hardware all within a mile or 2 from home base (walking distance). But that couldn’t be could it? Bashers say hard to get? = WRONG! And unlike bashers we come prepped with proof!!

First target “CVS Pharmacy” = SCORE!! (View photos below)

Side Note: We were a little upset that they were playing hide-n-go-seek on the shelf and there was only 2 left, we scooped one up and made sure to leave one at the edge. Funny thing was the next day I had to swing in for a couple quick things and happend to look for the heck of it, only to find out the last one had been sold. This CVS = SOLD OUT!

 
 
Second target “Walgreens” = SCORE!! (View photos below)
 
Side Note: They had plenty in stock, 6 or 7 of them.

 
Third target “Ace Hardware” = SCORE!! (View photos below)
 
Sidenote: We noticed Ace Hardware was charging 14.99 where as CVS and Walgreens only charged 9.99 We wondered if it has anything to do with product placement? Because if you notice SpongeTech’s products are right at the top and it’s sitting directly in front of the store opening where hundreds of people check out daily right by that register/counter. We purchased one and there was one left in stock, the lady did mention that on the other side of the register there was more stocked, but have since sold out on that rack. We all got pretty tickled, when she said “alot of people have been asking about these damn sponges”. Was music to our ears, the way we acted she must have thought “damn these guys really take their sponges serious”. (taking pictures etc lol)  
 
 
Fourth target another “Walgreens” (view photos below)
 
Side Note: This walgreens was not like the one prior. They only had one left in stock which we scooped up and left the shelf a ghost town. This walgreens = SOLD OUT!
 
 
 

So I have to ask you, was that all that hard? Nope, once again bashers just bashing with no standing. We are batting 100% 4 stores and 4 scores!! All within a couple miles from each other and home base. There was actually even a PetSmart another mile or so away which I’m sure is stocking Uncle Normans Products, but after hitting 4 stores we figured we made our point, and could deem our experiment a Success!

    I was very impressed to see Spongetech in Shop Rite (New Jersey) today and bought one of the Car Wash sets for my husband. They were very visable and the aisle they were in gets a lot of traffic.
