What is sogginess?

Sogginess is when something gets wet and soft because it has taken in a lot of water.

Imagine you have a crisp piece of bread, like the kind you eat with peanut butter. Now imagine you put that bread into your milk. After a little while, the bread starts to feel squishy and wet. That’s sogginess!

When something is soggy, it means water has moved into its tiny spaces, like when you drop a napkin in the puddle after you spill your juice. The napkin soaks up the water and becomes soft and wet, just like the bread.

Think of sogginess as what happens to your socks when they stay in the toe of your shoe all day, they get all mushy and wet from your foot’s sweat.

So, next time you have a soggy sandwich, just remember: it's like a wet hug from the bread to the filling!
