Object

The Krabby Patty is the Krusty Krab's signature food item. It is a meatless burger of sorts made from seaweed-sea buns, undersea vegetables, condiments, and a patty; it can also be ordered with cheese. The ingredients of the patty itself are kept secret throughout the series, but creator Stephen Hillenburg stated that the patties do not contain any meat.[1]

It is the best-known item at the restaurant and the most famous food in Bikini Bottom. It first appears in "Help Wanted" and is what SpongeBob cooks most of the time at his job.

The Krabby Patty is a basic plot element that contributes to the Krusty Krab's existence. A running gag throughout the series is Plankton trying to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula, but end up always failing.

Ingredients

The Krabby Patty is made out of a frozen patty with fresh lettuce, crisp onions and tomatoes with sea cheese, pickles, mustard, ketchup, and a Krabby Patty secret formula, though said secret formula has never been revealed in the series. SpongeBob mentioned multiple times that 'love' is an essential ingredient that does indeed impact the taste of the burger; to the point where King Neptune's patties were disgusting since "perfect patties are made with love, not magic."[2] The patties are vegan, similar to a veggie burger; Stephen Hillenburg and Vincent Waller have both stated that the patties have no animal product whatsoever in them.[3][1]

The Krabby Patty was made by Mr. Krabs when he was a kid, and it was by accident after Krabs and Plankton broke their friendship and became rivals. Plankton is unaware that he was directly responsible for the accidental creation of the Krabby Patty. [4] In the episode "Just One Bite," Krabby Patties are revealed to be kept in the patty vault.

Patty variations

There have many variations of the Krabby Patty throughout the series with many unique features that set it apart from the regular burger. However, few have made more than one appearance.

Health hazards

The Krabby Patty is known for being extremely unhealthy and fattening. Squidward refers to it as "a heart attack on a bun" in "Just One Bite." They can also have a dangerous and unfortunate side effect. When way too many Krabby Patties are eaten at one time, the consumer will become obese in the thigh area and explode. This happens to Squidward in the aforementioned "Just One Bite," when he breaks into the patty vault and eats too many Krabby Patties at once.

The SpongeBob Movie Sponge Out of Water 065

Its health hazards are also quickly shown in the feature film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, in the introduction as a doctor states while Burger Beard states that it is so unhealthy that a fish will be gone in a week due to eating too many Krabby Patties.

However, if one does not have a Krabby Patty after an extensive period, they will suffer from Krabby Patty withdrawal. If one does not eat a Krabby Patty during the withdrawal, they will mumble about it for the next three and a half minutes like Patrick does in "Pat No Pay." Krabby Patty withdrawal is due to thinking of the Krabby Patty, which causes severe stomach aches.

Real-life inspirations

Publications such as USA Today have named it among other fictional foods that many have wanted to exist in real life, but according to the New York Daily News, there are four restaurants which serve a similar burger to the seen one in the show. These burgers include the Snow Crab Crispy Rice, Phuket Fantasy, Angry Crab Benedict, and Soft Shell Crab Taco.

The Krabby Patties have also inspired real life gummy confectionery treats, primarily in New England. In 2008, a doctor with Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine warned parents to be aware of where the candy their child consumes is produced due to contamination then found in Chinese milk; Spongebob Gummy Krabby Patties were among those candies produced in China. In 2019, a reporter with the student newspaper of Capital University gave the gummy candies a rating of a 2 out of 10 in their review of Halloween candy.

The Krabby Patty has been used by Katy Perry as a second costume on the red carpet at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.[citation needed] In The SpongeBob Musical, the Krabby Patty was portrayed by an actor on stage at the Palace Theatre. Including various Merchandise depicting Spongebob and the Krabby Patty such as HipDot and Dog Toy.
