When does the Krabby Patty come out at Wendy's? Release date, details

Wendy's is bringing the Krabby Patty to real life, hitting restaurants this week.

The company announced last week that it is partnering with Paramount to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants” and launch the “Krabby Patty Kollab,” which will feature two menu items available for limited viewing will be available at Wendy's restaurants from time to time:

Pineapple under the frosty sea: A vanilla Frosty with a pineapple-mango flavored puree swirl – a unique Frosty flavor innovation of its kind.
Krabby Patty Collab Burger: The restaurant's take on the restaurant's famous cartoon burger features a quarter pound of beef, two slices of melted American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and a “top secret shrimp kolab sauce” on a toasted bun.

Both menu items will be available at Wendy's restaurants nationwide beginning Tuesday, Oct. 8, Wendy's said in the press release last week.

However, some lucky customers who visit an “immersive Wendy's drive-thru experience” in the Panorama City neighborhood of Los Angeles will be able to get a taste of the new Krabby Patty beginning Monday, October 7.

According to the press release, “The Krabby Patty Kollab” program will bring “SpongeBob SquarePants” Krabby Patty-inspired foods into the real world and onto menus for the first time ever. The animated series first premiered on Nickelodeon in 1999.

What is in the “top secret” sauce? Wendy keeps the Krabby Patty recipe “closely guarded”

“It makes sense that two of pop culture's most iconic places are joining forces to bring fans of all ages a taste of this unique, limited-time experience to life!” said Lindsay Radkoski, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer for The Wendy's Company, in the press release .

“'The Krabby Patty Kollab' marks another innovative way to continue the groundbreaking 25th anniversary celebration of 'SpongeBob SquarePants' and bring Bikini Bottom to the surface like never before,” said Dario Spina, CMO, Paramount Brand Studio, in the press release.

What's in the “top secret” Krabby Patty sauce?

The announcement of the burger's ingredients left many fans asking, “What's in the secret sauce?”

We asked and Wendy's responded with the following:

“Our top secret Krabby Patty Kolab Sauce is a closely guarded recipe that makes the first bite of the Krabby Patty Kolab Burger worth the wait for SpongeBob SquarePants fans and Wendy's customers alike,” a Wendy's spokesperson said in an email statement to USA TODAY on Friday.

Much like Mr. Krabs, the owner of the Krusty Krab, guards the Krabby Patty's secret formula in the animated series, Wendy's plans to guard the sauce's recipe in real life.
