Wendy’s to release Krabby Patty meal for SpongeBob’s birthday

Mr. Krabs isn’t the only one who knows the Krabby Patty secret formula.

Wendy’s has partnered with Paramount to launch the Wendy’s Krabby Patty Kollab to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the beloved TV show “SpongeBob SquarePants.”

The highlight of the menu is, of course, the Krabby Patty Kollab Burger, built nearly to SpongeBob’s instructions : a toasted bun, a quarter-pound beef patty, pickle, onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese and a top-secret Krabby Kollab sauce — but not necessarily “in that order.”

The limited-time menu also features a pineapple- and mango-flavored Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, inspired by SpongeBob’s pineapple home.

Angelenos will be the first to try the new menu on Oct. 7 and 8 at Wendy’s immersive drive-thru experience in Panorama City. The Frosty and burger will be available company-wide in the U.S. and Canada on the Wendy’s app beginning on Oct. 8.

SpongeBob, the “absorbent and yellow and porous” sponge, made his debut on Nickelodeon on May 1, 1999, in the pilot episode “Help Wanted.” As some viewers may remember, the episode kicked off SpongeBob’s career at the Krusty Krab.

The Wendy’s collaboration is the latest celebration of SpongeBob’s 25th year. Macy’s also previously announced the revamping of the SpongeBob SquarePants balloon ahead of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, along with a new float inspired by SpongeBob’s pet snail Gary for the first time this year.
