Wendy’s SpongeBob Krabby Patty Kollab: Overview & Images

Ahoy! I am Dannica, and I’m a fan of two issues: SpongeBob and Wendy’s (their spicy nuggets are *chef’s kiss*). So after I discovered that Wendy’s was dropping a Krabby Patty Kollab meal to rejoice the twenty fifth anniversary of Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants, I felt prefer it was my civic responsibility to drop every thing, head over to my native Wendy’s, and see if the meal lived as much as the Bikini Backside hype myself.

The brand new collaboration dropped nationwide at Wendy’s shops on Oct. 8, 2024, and options medium fries, a Krabby Patty, and a Pineapple Below the Sea Frosty. The meal is $11.99, and you may order the burger with a single, double, or triple patty.

Sooo, earlier than we dive into it, I’ve to ask…are you prepared, youngsters?!

As I discussed, the second it hit lunchtime, I hauled myself to the Wendy’s drive-thru. Lo and behold, there was Mr. SquarePants himself promoting the Krabby Patty meal on show:

After getting via the drive-thru, I lastly had the products. I might ordered a single Krabby Patty meal with a small vanilla-based Pineapple Below the Sea Frosty. When you’re extra of a chocolate lover, although, you possibly can select a Chocolate Frosty as an alternative!

However PAUSE! Let’s take a second to understand this pineapple Frosty.

After getting residence, I used to be so excited to see what this Krabby Patty would carry to the desk. Although I perceive that that is ~ Wendy’s take ~ on the enduring burger, I nonetheless anticipated the packaging and total presentation to essentially emulate true Krusty Krab vibes. However alas, think about my disappointment after I pulled every thing from the bag and was met with a daily schmegular Wendy’s burger wrapper.

I do know it is most likely wild to nitpick at a fast-food place’s packaging, but when having requirements is a criminal offense, arrest me! As somebody who beloved watching SpongeBob as a baby (and revisited my Bikini Backside period someday in my school years), I really feel like some artistic alternatives had been missed. I want there had been a distinct burger wrapper acknowledging that this was a collab burger — a Krabby Patty, at that. There may’ve been some sort of flower cloud sample, as seen within the present, and even one thing so simple as bubbles. Even the fries carton may’ve been one thing that nodded to the kelp fries bought on the Krusty Krab.

Although the shortage of branding effort did dim my pleasure a bit, I used to be nonetheless tremendous inquisitive about what the precise burger would seem like. For reference, this is the Krabby Patty within the present:

And this is what the Wendy’s Krabby Patty regarded like:

I am being so critical after I say this — the place is the sesame seed bun?!?!?!

Just like a Krusty Krab Krabby Patty, Wendy’s model consists of a quarter-pound beef patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, two slices of American cheese, and pickles. What differs, nonetheless, is that Wendy’s Krabby Patty features a “prime secret” Krusty Kollab sauce.

Here is a better have a look at the sauce through my pointer finger:

And this is my first chunk:

OK, hear me out — it is a good burger! This does not shock me as a result of I feel Wendy’s burgers are tasty normally, however the one factor that I used to be a bit not sure of at first was the sauce. Do not get me mistaken, it did not style dangerous in any respect! I feel I went in considering it was going to be some wild, distinctive sauce however was as an alternative greatly surprised by how acquainted it was.

As for the burger as an entire, when you take away the Krusty sauce, you mainly have a Dave’s Single. And actually? I am not complaining. The lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes had been juicy, the onions had a pleasant crunch, the cheese was melty perfection, the pickles had been pickling, the patty was JUICY, and the bun was toasted and buttery. What extra may I really ask for (other than extra Krabby sauce)?

Now, despite the fact that the Krabby Patty is meant to be the star of the entire meal, I admit that I used to be most excited to strive the Pineapple Below the Sea Frosty! Taking the enduring Wendy’s dessert, this chocolate or vanilla Frosty comes swirled with a Pineapple Mango-flavored puree. Although this Frosty comes with the meal, it’s also possible to order it by itself for $3.69 (costs could differ by location).

All I can say is WOWWW. Regardless of the puree vanishing from plain sight, the pineapple and mango flavors caught round and did the dang factor. To begin with, a pineapple and mango combo is at all times going to hit, and it particularly did paired with the Vanilla Frosty. I used to be a bit frightened that the pineapple would give a really tart and punchy taste, however as an alternative, it was candy — however not in an overbearing or artificial-tasting approach. Granted, it may not be overbearing as a result of the puree itself had a extra syrupy texture, so there wasn’t a lot to select up on anyway. I needed to give the Frosty combine between bites, however I assumed the flavour was tropical, gentle, and delish.

General, I loved the Krabby Patty meal! It is a enjoyable and attractive collaboration, however it did lack in creativity. Contemplating this meal was launched in celebration of SpongeBob SquarePants — and it is the primary time there’s ever been a “actual life” Krabby Patty — there may have been a lot extra. Largely, I want there was extra of an effort to push the theme and embrace components of the Krusty Krab or something about Bikini Backside within the meal’s presentation.

To nobody’s shock, my favourite half about this meal was the Frosty, and I definitely suppose the meal is price attempting a minimum of as soon as — particularly when you’re a longtime SpongeBob fan and wish the expertise of ordering a Krabby Patty in actual life! However do not wait too lengthy, as this collaboration is just for a restricted time!
