Oh Sponge, My Sponge

I have this disgusting habit of making a poor man's mocha every morning at work. (Side note: A poor man's mocha is simply coffee with a packet of Swiss Miss hot chocolate mixed in.) Here's the disgusting part, I don't wash out my mug when I'm done. I never actually drink all that I make, so it is allowed to sit there overnight and fester ;) It smells BAD the next morning...

So, every morning I walk to the opposite end of the building hoping and praying that the scent trail I leave behind doesn't make anyone else puke but me. Yesterday we got new sponges and I had the privilege to introduce these new sponges to their new meaning in life! Before ripping open the package I noticed "Instructions for use:", are you kidding me??? Really? How dumb are we becoming that we don't know how to use a sponge?

Step 1: RINSE. I rinsed the new sponge and if I might say so myself, my hand and that sponge made some music together.

Step 2: WRING. I'm supposed to wring the sponge. I wrung with all my might, following the twisty motion dictated in the picture provided.

Step 3: WIPE. Well, I didn't so much as wipe, but rather scrubbed my mug...

At the end of all this, what was I supposed to do with the green, fibrous, rough side? I scoured the package and did not see anything describing the green side. Maybe it's for decoration? Any thoughts? (sarcasm, folks, sarcasm...but there are probably real folks out there wondering that...)
