What is soggy?

Soggy means something is wet and soft, usually because it absorbed water.

Imagine you have a crisp cookie, the kind that cracks when you bite into it. Now, put that cookie in your milk for a little while. When you take it out, it’s not crisp anymore, it's all squishy and wet. That’s what soggy feels like!

When something is soggy, water has gone inside it, making it change from hard or crunchy to soft and wet.

• A soggy sandwich is one where the bread got too much juice from the tomatoes or lettuce.
• A soggy sock happens when your feet are wet for a long time, like after playing in puddles or wearing wet shoes all day!

So, next time you eat a cookie that’s not crisp anymore, or wear socks that feel squishy instead of snug, you’ll know it's because they're soggy!
