People are divided over what type of sponge Spongebob Squarepants is

Spongebob Squarepants has made headlines after a great Twitter debate erupted over what type of sponge the famous children’s character is.  

Starting the conversation, writer, comedian, and activist Celeste Yim said she always thought Spongebob was a kitchen sponge. 

"I have only just discovered that Spongebob is a sea sponge? I thought he was maybe a regular sponge with an eclectic lifestyle," she wrote on Twitter.

"My friends were mocking me like 'HOW DID U THINK HE COULD BREATHE UNDERWATER'. I was like hmmmm I dunno I guess I figured he's a cartoon sponge?"

Following the tweet, Twitter users were divided on the type of sponge the character, who lives in a pineapple house under the sea, is.
