If you live under a rock (like Patrick Star), you might not have heard, but Wendy’s is making a splash this October with a SpongeBob SquarePants collaboration that will have fans of all ages lining up at the nearest drive-thru.
That’s right—starting October 9, 2024, Wendy’s is serving up the beloved Krabby Patty and a SpongeBob-themed Frosty, making this one of the most exciting fast-food collabs in recent memory.
In celebration of everyone’s favorite absorbent, yellow, and porous fry cook, Wendy’s is bringing a taste of Bikini Bottom to life, complete with the iconic Krabby Patty—something fans have been dreaming of since SpongeBob SquarePants first aired in 1999. But Wendy’s didn’t stop there. They’ve also whipped up a SpongeBob-inspired Frosty to give you the full under-the-sea experience.
So, grab your jellyfishing net and let’s dive into the details of this one-of-a-kind fast-food event.
The Legendary Krabby Patty – Wendy’s Style
Ever since SpongeBob flipped his first Krabby Patty on the grill at the Krusty Krab, fans have been dying to try the mythical burger for themselves. And while Plankton is still working on stealing the secret formula, Wendy’s has created their own take on the Krabby Patty that will make even Squidward smile.
Wendy’s Krabby Patty features a juicy fish fillet, crispy lettuce, tartar sauce, pickles, and a slice of gooey cheese, all sandwiched between two soft, golden buns. It’s a playful nod to the undersea burger we’ve seen in nearly every SpongeBob episode, and Wendy’s has really hit the nail on the head—or should we say, hit the jellyfish with a net?
For SpongeBob fans who have been dreaming about taking a bite of a Krabby Patty for over 20 years, this is your moment! Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, Wendy’s Krabby Patty will transport you straight to Bikini Bottom—without the worry of getting caught in a jellyfish sting.
Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty
But what’s a Krabby Patty without something sweet to wash it down? Wendy’s has taken inspiration from SpongeBob’s iconic home—a pineapple under the sea—and created a limited-edition Pineapple Frosty to accompany the Krabby Patty. This tropical twist on their classic dessert is both refreshing and nostalgic, with the sweet and tangy flavor of pineapple perfectly balancing out the savory burger.
The Pineapple Frosty is the perfect way to end your meal, whether you want to dip your fries into it (we won’t judge) or just enjoy its creamy goodness on its own. It’s a light and fruity nod to SpongeBob’s vibrant world, and fans are already calling it one of the best Frosty flavors Wendy’s has ever released.
A SpongeBob-Themed Combo for the Ages
For those ready to dive headfirst into the SpongeBob experience, Wendy’s is offering a SpongeBob SquarePants Combo that includes the Krabby Patty, Pineapple Frosty, and sea-salted fries (because, of course, sea salt!).
You can also collect limited-edition SpongeBob-themed packaging featuring some of your favorite characters from Bikini Bottom. The collectible cups, bags, and wrappers are perfect for anyone who wants a keepsake from this undersea adventure.
Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Approve!
It’s not just SpongeBob and his pals who are excited about the new offerings. Wendy’s has ensured that their SpongeBob menu has something for everyone—even Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy would give it a thumbs-up.
For those looking for a lighter option, there’s a grilled version of the Krabby Patty available, and for those who aren’t into pineapple, don’t worry—you can still order a classic Chocolate or Vanilla Frosty to go along with your meal.
Wendy’s is also offering a vegetarian “Seaweed Salad” side option in select locations to cater to fans who want a healthier, plant-based option. With these fun, inclusive additions, Wendy’s has truly created a menu that captures the fun spirit of SpongeBob and his underwater friends.
When and Where You Can Get It
Mark your calendars, SpongeBob fans! The Krabby Patty and Pineapple Frosty officially launch on October 9, 2024, and will be available at participating Wendy’s locations across the U.S. for a limited time. While we don’t know the exact end date just yet, it’s safe to say that this limited-edition menu will be gone before you can say “I’m ready!” So, don’t wait—grab your chance to eat like SpongeBob while you can.
Social Media Buzz and Fan Excitement
Since Wendy’s first teased the collab earlier this month, fans of SpongeBob have been buzzing with excitement on social media. The #KrabbyPattyChallenge has already started trending, with people pledging to try the Krabby Patty and post their reactions on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter. Some die-hard fans are even planning to show up to Wendy’s dressed in their best SpongeBob cosplay.
And let’s not forget about the Wendy’s Rewards App—those who order through the app are being promised exclusive deals and early access to the SpongeBob-themed items. So, if you’re a true fan, make sure you’re ready to jump on that as well.
