Wendy's to bring Krabby Patty Burger to life in celebration of SpongeBob's 25th anniversary
A beloved fictional food may soon become reality. Wendy's is reportedly coming out with a Krabby Patty burger, an item made famous by being sold at the Krusty Krab restaurant on Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob SquarePants."
What appears to be an internal Wendy's memo dated August 16 that leaked online has sparked talk of the offering. The memo states that the item will become available on October 8, as part of a promotion with Paramount, which owns the franchise, to celebrate the show's 25th anniversary. The Krabby Patty meal will be available to consumers in the United States, Canada, and Guam.
The memo describes the burger as "a premium cheeseburger with Wendy's fresh, never frozen beef, topped with fresh produce and a secret Krabby Patty sauce, capturing the magic of the iconic fictional sandwich for SpongeBob fans." Unfortunately, there's no jellyfish jelly in sight.
As part of the meal, Wendy's will also introduce a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty. "In honor of SpongeBob's home, this Frosty is made with our signature Vanilla Frosty swirled with Pineapple Mango puree, offering a first-of-its-kind dessert experience for fans of all ages," the memo said.
The note also hinted at the expected reception for the meal, which will only be available until November 11. "This is an exciting moment for Wendy's, and we anticipate that both QSR (quick service restaurant) consumers and SpongeBob fans will turn out in a big way for this limited-time experience," the memo said.
However, fans will have to wait and see if the Krabby Patty burger will become a permanent menu item. A Wendy's spokesperson told TODAY.com that while they can't confirm what's coming down the pipeline, they're always looking to bring fans new menu items inspired by their cravings.
