SpongeBob fans can finally get a Krabby Patty in real life

[JACK AYLMER]

ARE YOU READY KIDS? AND ADULTS? THERE’S BIG NEWS COMING FROM BIKINI BOTTOM. YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO LIVE IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA TO ENJOY A KRABBY PATTY.

THAT’S BECAUSE NICKELODEON IS TEAMING UP WITH A SLEW OF RESTAURANTS AROUND THE WORLD TO BRING HUNGRY CUSTOMERS FOODS INSPIRED BY THE FAMOUS BURGER FROM THE LONG-RUNNING CARTOON “SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS.”

AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT GOES INTO A KRABBY PATTY – LET’S ASK THE EXPERT.

IT’S ALL PART OF THE SHOW’S 25^TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.

“THE KRABY 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 OCTOBER 8TH IN CITIES LIKE NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES, ATLANTA, TORONTO, LONDON AND MEXICO CITY — EVEN THOUGH THE KRABBY PATTY’S RECIPE REMAINS A COVETED SECRET.

AND IF YOU DON’T LIVE NEAR ANY OF THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS – YOU PROBABLY DO LIVE NEAR A WENDY’S – WHICH IS ALSO OFFERING ITS OWN VERSION OF THE KRABBY PATTY AND A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA FROSTY.

BUT THE 25^TH ANNIVERSARY OF SPONGEBOB DOES NOT END HERE – COMING UP AT NEW YORK COMIC CON LATER THIS MONTH – NICKELODEON WILL SET UP A BOOTH RECREATING THE PILOT EPISODE OF THE SERIES – GIVING FANS THE CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE SHOW THROUGH 3D-ANIMATION, AND AUGMENTED REALITY.

AND NEXT WEEK NICKELODEON WILL BE AIRING A ONE-HOUR ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL.

I REALLY HOPE SQUIDWARD IS IN IT. HE’S MY FAVORITE. NO OFFENSE, SPONGEBOB.

“Sorry, Angry Jack.”

It’s OK Spongebob. Wait, I’m not angry. Maybe just hungry.
