Wendy’s Krabby Patty Meal lacks SpongeBob flair. Here’s our review

Wendy’s new Krabby Patty Meal is making waves across America, causing drive-thrus to overflow with excited fans.

We couldn’t resist the buzz and decided to join the fun by trying out this burger.

As we pulled up, the drive-thru line was packed — clearly, these Krabby Patty meals were a hit. The voice over the speaker? Strictly business. She wasn’t playing around and wanted that line moving, so I played along.

The Krabby Patty Meal comes in single, double, or triple — because why not push your daily calorie intake to Bikini Bottom levels? I went with the double. I skipped lunch and needed fuel. You get it.

But when the meal finally landed in my hands, my excitement took a hit. The bag? Totally plain. The Frosty? Not a SpongeBob in sight. I was half-expecting SpongeBob himself to pop out with a “ravioli, ravioli, give me the formuoli” — but nope, just your usual Wendy’s packaging.

Now, let’s dive into this so-called “secret sauce.” Spoiler alert: it’s really not a secret at all! It tastes like a sweeter version of Thousand Island dressing. Sorry, Plankton, but this burger doesn’t come with any top-secret formulas.

The real star, though? The pineapple Frosty. That tropical twist was the highlight of the meal. And, as always, pairing it with fries? That’s a win every time. Those two are the true MVPs of this meal.

Wendy’s Krabby Patty Meal end date

Wendy’s will contribute to serving the meals until they are told to stop. According to a Wendy’s employee in El Paso, Texas, an exact date was not given.
