Is Wendy’s and SpongeBob’s Krabby Patty Kollab F.U.N.?
After years of watching Plankton fail to steal the Krusty Krab’s secret formula, Wendy’s gives it a try.
Unlike a lot of people from my generation, SpongeBob SquarePants wasn’t a huge part of my pop culture diet. As a household without cable, I didn’t grow up with easy access to Nickelodeon. If I wanted to see Stick Stickly, I had to depend on the kindness of my friends. Or wait until we had access to cable while in a hotel on vacation.
But I did cross paths with SpongeBob over the years. My high school — for reasons I still don’t understand — allowed juniors and seniors to hang out in the cafeteria and watch TV or play cards instead of signing up for a full schedule of classes. (I always heard those New York education standards were tough, but I’m not sure how you square those standards with what my high school officially called Oasis.) If the TV in the side cafeteria wasn’t on MTV during these open periods, it was often on SpongeBob SquarePants.
I also caught the occasional episode of the animated series while hanging out at my friend Andy’s parents’ house. For some reason the “weast” bit always cracked us up.
Despite not growing up with SpongeBob as a big part of my life, would Wendy’s new Krabby Patty Kollab Burger and Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty be right for me?
