After waiting for the bus to get from Rock Bottom back to Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob eventually gets hungry. He first eats glove candy from his candy glove dispenser he got from Glove World!, but he spits them out due to their disgusting flavor.

SpongeBob eventually tries to trick the bus by not getting the candy bar, but fails, and one of the local Rock Bottomites takes SpongeBob's Kelp Nougat Crunch bar.
