Why the name Sponge Cola?

Original name of the group was Sponge after R.S. Surtee’s Mr. Sponge’s Sporting Tour. Later they learned about a Detroit grunge band already using the name Sponge, but according to Yael, their current follower already know their group by that name so they just added ‘Cola’ because the word is the easiest to remember.
