To give some idea of the logistic around the order, if the sponges were laid one on top of the other they would reach 15 times the height of the Eiffel Tower, although it would be some balancing act.
Perhaps more intersting is the absorbacy of the sponges (we like to do these things at Imagineers). One of our creative boffins calculated you could fill to the brim over 100 domestic baths squeezing the water from each sponge, that’s over 30,000 litres of water or nearly 7,000 gallons , fortunately they were dry when shipped!
