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 Aug. 16 that leaked online has sparked talk of the offering.
The memo states the item would become available Oct. 8 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants,” as part of promotion with Paramount, which owns the franchise, that will be available to consumers in the United States, Canada and Guam.
The memo touted a Krabby Patty meal. The burger itself is described 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 would only be available until Nov. 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.
Fans should contain their excitement about this Patrick Star-studded meal, however.
“While we can’t confirm what’s coming down Wendy’s innovation pipeline, we can share that we’re always looking to bring fans new menu items inspired by our fans’ cravings,” a Wendy’s spokesperson told TODAY.com.
So, we’ll just have to wait and see. Here’s hoping — for Plankton — they’ll share the recipe (cue Mr. Krab’s cackle).
