Is this the Krusty Krab? No, this is Wendy’s, and its customers have officially entered Bikini Bottom. The fast-food chain broke the internet last week when it announced its new Spongebob Squarepants-inspired Krabby Patty Kollab meal. The offer includes a burger and a pineapple frosty as a nod to SpongeBob’s pineapple-under-the-sea home. So, since everyone is dying to get their hands on the official Krabby Patty, did Wendy’s actually follow the “secret formula?”
On Tuesday, October 8, Wendy’s started serving the Krabby Patty meal. Customers were thrilled to finally try a bite of their favorite character’s Krusty Krab special.

Wendy’s partnered with Nickelodeon and its parent company, Paramount, to release the savory item in honor of SpongeBob’s 25th anniversary. The cartoon first premiered in 1999.
Los Angeles residents had the chance to experience the Krabby Patty meal first on Monday, October 7, at the Wendy’s immersive drive-through in Panorama City.
The Krabby Patty Kollab burger includes a “top-secret” sauce, a Wendy’s spokesperson told USA Today in a statement.
