  • Columbus, Ohio-based Wendy's is offering fans a limited-time SpongeBob SquarePants meal.
  • The Krabby Patty Kollab features a quarter-pound burger and a tropical frosty flavor.

Get the fryers going!

The Krabby Patty meal will be available at your local Wendy's on October 8th, but only for a limited time. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants,” the fast food chain is launching its Krabby Patty Collab, complete with the restaurant's version of the iconic Krabby Patty, fries and a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty.

What could be better than giving a smile? Starting next week, fans will finally be able to try the legendary Krabby Patty that we loved Performance for decades since the popular Nickelodeon show first aired in 1999. Columbus-based Wendy's is bringing the concept to life in restaurants across the country.

“It makes sense that two of pop culture's most iconic spots are joining forces to bring fans of all ages a taste of this unique, limited-time experience to life!” Lindsay Radkoski, US chief marketing officer for Wendy's, said in a press release this week .

While we don't know the secret formula yet, here's what you should know about Wendy's Krabby Patty meal.

People Order Our Patties: What's Included in the Wendy's x SpongeBob Meal?

According to Wendy's, here are the menu items in the Krabby Patty Kollab:

  • Pineapple under the frosty sea: A combination of Wendy's Vanilla Frosty and a pineapple mango flavored puree swirl.
  • Krabby Patty Collab Burger: Wendy's take on a Krabby Patty consists of a quarter pound of Wendy's beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and a top-secret Krabby Kolab sauce on a toasted bun. It is compared to a Dave's Single cheeseburger from Wendy's, but unlike the original Krusty Krab version, Wendy's replica has a square patty.

When will the Wendy's x SpongeBob Krabby Patty collab be released?

For a limited time, the chain will debut the Krabby Patty Kollab menu on October 8 at participating Wendy's nationwide and on the Wendy's app.

“You like Krabby Patties, don't you, Ohio…”

You don't need a license to drive a sandwich. If you want to try the new dish for yourself, there are 406 locations to choose from across Ohio, including 35 in Columbus, 24 in Cincinnati, nine in Cleveland and six stores in Akron.

I am (not) ready

While many SpongeBob lovers are looking forward to the Krabby Patty Kollab meal, other fans criticized the launch, pointing out that it goes against the wishes of the late Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of “SpongeBob SquarePants” who died in 2018.

A 2004 New York Times article said: “Mr. Hillenburg has no problem with candy and ice cream… But Mr. Hillenburg has problems with fast food, which is full of hidden additives,” the article explained before publication of the first SpongeBob movie.
