Role in series
"There's a Sponge in My Soup"
The smashed potatoes used in the soup.
The hippies inside the soup vat.
The Krabby Soup is the main focus of the episode. Mr. Krabs uses a half-eaten Krabby Patty, pickles, and smashed potatoes that look like Squidward as ingredients for the soup. The potatoes are still caked to a customer's plate when Mr. Krabs brings them out, so he has to use a knife to slide them into SpongeBob's soup pot. Each ingredient causes the soup to bubble after being added. When SpongeBob asks Mr. Krabs if he got them from the trash, Mr. Krabs denies this, stating that it would be illegal to resell food from the garbage. He claims that he "intercepted" them before they fell into the trash instead.
When Mr. Krabs tells the hippies they cannot be on Krusty Krab property to warm up, the hippies go inside the Krusty Krab kitchen and find the soup vat. Due to it still cooking, it is quite warm, so they decide to live in the soup. The hippies hide inside the soup for most of the episode, occasionally leaving when Mr. Krabs draws them out. At the end of the episode, Mr. Krabs manages to move them over to Squidward's bathtub.
"The String"
The rich patron sees the string in his soup and complains. Mr. Krabs claims that it is for flavor and attempts to charge him $100 million for it. The rich patron is about to give him money when SpongeBob takes away the string and keeps it to himself.
"Senior Discount"
When Mr. Krabs gets angry, the soup is seen steaming on his back. SpongeBob grabs it from his back and sniffs it.
Trivia
- In the rough storyboard by Kelly Armstrong, the smashed potatoes for the soup were much more clumpy with a bigger "nose" on Squidward and no globs coming off of the plate.
