Nickelodeon is teaming up with a slew of restaurants around the world to bring hungry customers foods inspired by the Krabby Patty — the famous burger from the long-running cartoon “SpongeBob Squarepants.” It’s all part of the show’s 25th anniversary celebration.
“The Krabby Patty Kollab” is bringing the animated meal from the Krusty Krab to real-life eateries, but not just in burger form.
Over 250 participating restaurants will offer a variety of interpretations of SpongeBob’s favorite meal, in more than 100 different styles, including dumplings, falafel, doughnuts and ice cream.
SpongeBob fans craving animated delicacies can find these real-life limited-time menu additions beginning Oct. 8 in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Toronto, London and Mexico City (even though the Krabby Patty recipe remains a coveted secret).
For those who don’t live near any of the local restaurants, they can head on over to Wendy’s. The fast-food chain is offering its version of the Krabby Patty… and a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty.
The 25th anniversary of SpongeBob continues later this month at New York Comic Con where Nickelodeon will be setting up a booth recreating the pilot episode of the series. Fans will get the chance to experience the show through 3D-animation and augmented reality.
