Fans of SpongeBob SquarePants may soon be able to munch on a real-life Krabby Patty this fall, thanks to a secret collaboration with Paramount and Wendy's!
Wendy's and Paramount, the owner of the beloved franchise through Nickelodeon, are reportedly cooking up a special SpongeBob Krabby Patty burger, which could come as early as this fall alongside a special guest.
Popverse, citing an internal memo sent to some Wendy’s locations, reported that the burger will debut alongside a sweet companion: a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty — referencing the titular character’s iconic house. Wendy’s and Paramount have not respond to requests for comment.
For those unfamiliar with SpongeBob SquarePants, the Krabby Patty in the animated series is a mythical, meatless marvel, crafted from seaweed buns and a patty with unknown origins. The ingredients of the famous Krabby Patty are pretty clear – two buns, with the patty, lettuce, cheese, onion, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, and pickles between them (in that order). The Season 1 episode "Pickles" makes this pretty explicitly clear.
Over the years, the Krabby Patty has been famously the target of devious trickster Plankton, who has been plotting to get his hands on the secret formula.
While the actual ingredients of the Krabby Patty are still a closely guarded secret, we do know that the Wendy's version the Krabby Patty will be slightly different to the official one featured in the series. Whilst the in-show version of the Krabby Patty contains no animal protein, the Wendy's version of the burger will have meat - but come topped with "a secret Krabby Patty Sauce, capturing the magic of the iconic fictional sandwich for SpongeBob fans."
The burger itself is described as “a premium cheeseburger with Wendy’s fresh, never frozen beef, topped with fresh produce and a secret Krabby Patty sauce, capturing the magic of the iconic fictional sandwich for SpongeBob fans.” Unfortunately, there’s no jellyfish jelly in sight.
This would purportedly be sold side-by-side with a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, flavorited with vanilla and a Pineapple Mango puree.
“In honor of SpongeBob’s home, this Frosty is made with our signature Vanilla Frosty swirled with Pineapple Mango puree, offering a first-of-its-kind dessert experience for fans of all ages,” the memo said.
The note also hinted at the expected reception for the meal.
“This is an exciting moment for Wendy’s, and we anticipate that both QSR (quick service restaurant) consumers and SpongeBob fans will turn out in a big way for this limited-time experience,” the memo said.
According to the memo, the Krusty Patty Kollab will also feature limited-edition SpongeBob sticker sheets.
Should the burger become a reality, it could mark a historic pairing of food and entertainment. The promotion is expected to kick off on October 8 as part of SpongeBob SquarePants' 25th anniversary celebrations and last until November 11, with the The Krabby Patty available at participating Wendy’s locations across the U.S., Canada, and Guam.
Update (8/31): Fans should contain their excitement about this Patrick Star-studded meal, however.
“While we can’t confirm what’s coming down Wendy’s innovation pipeline, we can share that we’re always looking to bring fans new menu items inspired by our fans’ cravings,” a Wendy’s spokesperson told TODAY.com.
So, we’ll just have to wait and see. Here’s hoping — for Plankton — they’ll share the recipe (cue Mr. Krab’s cackle).
