Here’s my review of the Krabby Patty meal at Wendy’s & where you can get one on MS Coast
Ravioli ravioli, Wendy’s has the formuoli.
Wendy’s new Krabby Patty Kollab meal is now available and let’s just say, my millennial SpongeBob-loving heart was beaming with joy when I first heard about it.
I grew up watching SpongeBob and although it was considered a bit odd back then (and still is), my older brother and I got a crack out of it (and still do).
Essentially, it was a no-brainer that I go try this new meal. Here’s my full review of the meal and where you can get one.
Here’s what I thought of the new Krabby Patty meal from Wendy’s
Okay, listen. I have to be honest here. I’m not a huge fan of Wendy’s and I don’t go there too often. It’s just not my first choice. I said what I said.
But for a SpongeBob-inspired meal, oh yeah, I’m down. And when that meal (burger, fries and a frosty) is $10.99, my wallet is able to stay happy, too. That’s not a bad deal, especially considering the burger is a hefty double patty.
Not to mention, the burger is stacked. Of course with the secret formula: a bun filled with—in this case—two patties, lettuce, cheese, onions, tomatoes, ketchup, mustard and pickles. However, Wendy’s version of the Krabby Patty also came with a tasty secret sauce on top, which was tasty and a bit tangy.
Overall the Krabby Patty was a good burger and a great value for the size. But I had suspicions that it was just like another burger on the menu at Wendy’s and after staring at the menu for a bit, I found out that my suspicions were true.
The Dave’s Double meal at Wendy’s is also $10.99 and comes with, as Wendy’s describes it, “a half-pound of fresh British beef, American cheese, crisp lettuce, tomato, pickle, Heinz ketchup, Heinz mayo, and onion on a toasted bun.” So, it is also a double patty burger with all the same ingredients, minus the addition of the secret sauce that the Krabby Patty has.
Of course, the Krabby Patty meal also comes with fries and a Pineapple Frosty, whereas the Dave’s Double meal comes with fries and a fountain drink for the same price. So, is the Pineapple Frosty really worth giving up your crisp fountain drink? Here’s what I think:
I have to admit I was nervous about trying the Pineapple Frosty because it didn’t sound too appealing, but when in Bikini Bottom…
All in all, it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste, as it wasn’t too overpowering and it had a small kick of pineapple flavor. I was expecting it to have a hugely artificial taste, but it actually was pretty subtle and refreshing. I even dipped my fries in it because I wanted the full Frosty experience. Delicious.
Although the Krabby Patty meal was eerily similar to the Dave’s Double, I still think it was genius marketing and I give Wendy’s major props for being super creative. Even if all they did was add a new sauce to the burger and new flavored Frosty. But hey, no hate here. I might even officially be a hard-core Wendy’s fan now.
I give the Wendy’s Krabby Patty Kollab meal a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
