Pretty sure the Scrub Daddy came first! It gained huge notoriety for being on Shark Tank, as one of if not the most successful Shark tank product in history, and it's now in every Walmart and Dollar store in the country.

So the meme treats the derivative like it's the original, which I suppose is true to form as an indicator of how people lose track of ideas as they get constantly recirculated.

Yeah, this meme is dumb because Scrub Daddy was the original product.
