Social media erupts over 'leaked' Wendy's plan for sandwich made famous by iconic cartoon series

Social media erupted over an apparently leaked plan for Wendy's to start making the burger made famous by SpongeBob SquarePants.

The speculation seemed to have begun when someone claiming to be a Wendy's employee posted a photo of an announcement from the fast food chain to Reddit. 

'Starting October 8, get ready to deliver the magic of cultural phenomenon SpongeBob SquarePants!' it said.

'To celebrate the show's 25th anniversary this year, Wendy's will introduce its own version of SpongeBob's iconic Krabby Patty as part of an exclusive Krabby Patty Kollab with Paramount,' it said.

The iconic burger will be available to customers in the US, Canada and Guam through November 11.

A memo shared on social media seems to suggest Wendy's will introduce the iconic Krabby Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants

The memo says Wendy's partnered with Paramount to celebrate SpongeBob SquarePants' 25th anniversary

Wendy's Krabby Patty will be a 'premium cheeseburger with Wendy's fresh, never frozen beef, topped with fresh produce and a secret Krabby Patty sauce, capturing the magic of the iconic fictional sandwich for SpongeBob fans,' according to the memo.

The franchise will also offer Hot and Crispy Fries and a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, it says.

As the memo spread across social media, SpongeBob fans were overjoyed.

'NOBODY DOES IT LIKE MY GOAT WENDY'S,' one social media user wrote. 'NAME ONE OTHER RESTAURANT THAT HAS THE KRABBY PATTY SECRET FORMULA.'

Others joked that the fast food company was able to get the secret formula quicker than the show's antagonist, Plankton.

Many online jested that the fast food chain was able to get the secret formula before the antagonist Plankton

Another X user suggested she would be wealthy after stealing the formula

'How tf Wendy's get the d*** Krabby Patty formula, but Plankton couldn't even retrieve the s*** for 14+ straight seasons,' another wrote.

A third suggested they would be wealthy 'after successfully stealing the Krabby Patty formula from Wendy's.'

Yet others seemed disappointed by the memo.

'Me after finding out the Wendy's Krabby Patty meal is just a new secret sauce on a regular burger with... some type of pineapple shake and hot and crispy fries,' one X user wrote, sharing a photo of Snoop Dog lying down.

One X user shared a clip from the cartoon showing Mr. Krabs updating the price of a Krabby Patty to more than $100, suggesting Wendy's will similarly raise its prices

'Wendy's updating the price for a simple a** burger that's just called a "krabby patty," yet another social media user wrote. 

The person shared a clip from the cartoon in which Mr. Krabs was updating the price of a Krabby Patty to more than $100.

'A hundred and one dollars for a Krabby Patty?' his employee, Squidward, asks.

'With cheese Mr. Squidward, with cheese,' Mr. Krabs replies.
