Who lives in the pineapple under the sea? Of course, it’s our bright yellow sponge friend, Spongebob Squarepants! If he’s not catching some jellyfish with his best friend Patrick while annoying Squidward, he’s flipping patties at Krusty Krab, where he works as a fry cook. He loves his job a lot, so definitely expect some good-tasting Krabby Patties made with love!
We all grew up watching this hit 1999 Nickelodeon show Spongebob Squarepants where we follow his adventures together with his friends at Bikini Bottom. One iconic spot on this show where most of the action happens is at the Krusty Krab, a fast food restaurant serving the iconic Krabby Patty!
Now, don’t you ever wonder why Plankton, for years, tried to steal the Krabby Patty formula? Of course, he fails every time! But what’s so special about this burger recipe that keeps the population of Bikini Bottom coming back for more? Well, we have some good news for all of you Spongebob fans out there as Wendy’s is giving us a taste of the Krabby Patty and more!
Wendy’s and Paramount are teaming up for the 25th anniversary of Spongebob Squarepants with a meal that will flip fins (at least for the creatures of Bikini Bottom). Introducing the Krabby Patty Kollab that will be offered in Wendy’s locations on October 8, 2024.
Unpacking the Krabby Patty Kollab
Live out your Krusty Krab dining dreams with the following Wendy’s offerings:
- Krabby Patty Kollab Burger – Featuring Wendy’s premium cheeseburger with their signature beef. It’s topped with the usual fresh produce and, of course, a special Krabby Patty sauce.
- Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty – This frosty is shaking things up, including Spongebob’s iconic pineapple house. This dessert treat features Wendy’s signature Vanilla Frosty with swirls of Mango Pineapple puree. This is one refreshing treat in the middle of chilly October.
- Hot & Crispy Medium Fry – This side dish resembles the Kelp Fries, which is a popular Krabby Patty side dish. It’s just the same old Wendy’s fries that will complement the Krabby Patty Kollab Burger.
Lindsay Radkoski, Wendy’s U.S. Chief Marketing Officer, said that Wendy’s is known for quality in everything that they do, including collaborations. Radkoski added that it makes sense that two of the most iconic squares in pop culture will collaborate to give fans a limited-time experience of taste. Well, when, in this lifetime, will you ever taste a Krabby Patty? Wendy’s is making them accessible for every Spongebob fan and nostalgia seekers.
If you’re from Los Angeles, then you’re lucky to get the first bite, as you can enjoy a sample of Wendy’s Krabby Patty Kollab Meal on October 7, 2024. Aside from that, fans from Panorama City in California can experience an immersive Wendy’s drive-thru experience as the Krappy Patty Kollab drops on October 8, 2024. You can expect the menu to be on Wendy’s smartphone app nationwide by the 8th.

What’s New at Wendy’s?
Are you ready, kids? The kid in us is definitely jumping up and down with joy since this marks the time when they can already have a bite of the iconic Krabby Patty. Thanks to Wendy’s, they are making our silly little dreams come true. This year has been great for Wendy’s to begin with, as they have served new menu items for fans. Let’s check them out.
Saucy Nuggs
This season also marks the football opening and games, so Wendy’s came out with a menu option that will make you say touchdown! If you’re looking for the perfect game-day eating experience through tailgate festivities, Wendy’s has got you covered with their new party pack featuring up to 50 Saucy Nuggs.
The party-sized Saucy Nuggs comes with 45-50 white meat chicken nuggets that are served with a Ranch or Blue Cheese for dipping. And the best part? You can choose one flavor among the seven saucy flavors from the party pack. These flavors include:
- Honey BBQ
- Spicy Honey BBQ
- Garlic Parm
- Spicy Garlic Parm
- Buffalo
- Spicy Buffalo

Vanilla Frosty
A returning classic Frosty flavor that will replace summer’s Triple Berry is the Vanilla Frosty. Yup, it’s the base of the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, so we’ve gotta thank Wendy’s for bringing back this treat! This OG dessert has the same creamy, melty texture that we get from Frosty but with a hint of vanilla goodness. A little menu tip: you can dip your Hot and Crispy fries in it or add some flavoring like fruits and peanut butter.
Frosty Frights Kids’ Meal
The HalloWEENDY’s season is kicking off, and Wendy’s is bringing you in for a spooky treat! Kids and kids at heart can get the new Frosty Frights kid’s meal collection where you can get a ton of spooky toys in every order. From Brr Beast to Cold Spell and Franken Frosty, you can collect all 11 Frosty Frights characters.
The World of Spongebob Food Products
As a kid, I’m pretty sure that you were also fascinated with different collaborations of your favorite restaurant and snacks with a character that you love. One character who probably teamed up with countless food products is Spongebob Squarepants. You may have asked your parents to buy you Spongebob-themed food items from the grocery, such as Krabby Patty Gummies, Kraft’s Macaroni & Cheese, PopTarts, and cereals, but one food item is too iconic to forget. 🤣
Remember the Spongebob Squarepants popsicles? They were these goofy-looking Spongebob treats with bubblegum eyes that seemed to roll around their square body.
But enough with the snacks as more food news reached the Bikini Bottom radar. Last February, Spongebob Squarepants teamed up with Pizza Hut Australia for a Spongebob Squarepants-themed menu. It features a pizza made with pineapple, beef, and smokey ham. They also have Sweet Chili Wings and ice cream flavors in Dill Pickle Mustard Swirl & Bacon Bits and Pineapple Coconut.

From The Club
Spongebob Squarepants is my favorite comfort show until now that I’m in my 20s. Whenever I feel tired from this adulting life, I try to pause a bit while playing this cartoon in the background. There’s nothing like going back to your favorite character when you feel exhausted. Wendy’s made my dream come true by releasing a Krabby Patty meal that I always wanted to try. Is it that delicious for Plankton to keep stealing the secret formula? 🤣 I’m also looking forward to the Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty treat as someone who’s a huge fan of pineapple dessert treats!
