The idea that he created the chum bucket to research the one ingredient in the secret formula he thinks he knows is crazy.

7:50 he never necessarily says seven "jars"/bottles, but he says ingredients. 2 of those jars look to be identical to each other, therefore you can make the assumption that there was just a larger quantity of that single ingredient stocked

Interesting concept. In regards to the flavour in coffee beans It is very dependant on the growing environment of the coffee beans. The level of roast, how fine the grind is, and what method you use to make it. What your hoping for sounds more like molecular gastronomy levels of mixology.

YES THANK YOU!!!! My daughter and I are having a huge argument over this :P -My- take is that there COULD be SIX or there COULD be SEVEN. Because as stated TWO of the jars look identical. Why they look identical is up for theorizing. I just think its astounding how Team Theorist can correlate the exact hex color of lines of text in FNAF to make correlations across multiple games, but there's absolutely zero mention of the fact that two jars that are very obviously identical. They just simply counted each unique jar and presumed that they were all different contents xD

[@Supasmartguy]

You missed one ingredient. It has been confirmed by multiple sources that Mr Krabs has code-named one of the ingredients to the Krabby Patty "Poseidon's powder". We see what is most likely this ingredient contained in a bottle marked with an X in the episode Patty caper. I personally think that this ingredient is cocaine. That would explain why Krabby Patties are so incredibly addictive and why Mr Krabs is so protective over the recipe, also, Poseidon's powder is a street name for the aforementioned drug.

[@megafan2001]

Well Babbish said it may be MSG.

[@feonaarabellaparaiso1786]

It depends on if you see the comics as canon. The Poseidon powder was a mistake on the Wikipedia page that caused everyone to speculate that there was cocaine in the formula, and the comics decided to add it as a reference to that famous mistake that got everyone talking. For me, I wouldn’t really consider it’s validity, but then again, the comics do go into further detail about Mrs. Puff and her psychosis, which I would consider canon.

At 7:44, I think that the narrator is talking about how many ingredients there are, not how many jars and bottles of things there are. The two jars at the middle right are probably the same ingredient, considering that they are in the same jar, and at the same spot. Just a little nitpick. :)

Hi MatPat, hope you or you team sees this! Could you possibly make a food theory on how to make the perfect popcorn (like you did with tea)? I can never seem to get the butter or seasoning to spread evenly so it would be really cool to see what you find is best for that and other popcorn centered things :)

The vegan patty idea reminds me of that one episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer where Buffy worked at a burger place and thought they were using the employees as ingredients, but in the end it turned out the "double meat" pattys were secretly vegan, and the restaurant kept it a secret for the same reason suggested in this video. Also a sweet old lady who ate at the restaurant every day was actually a horrific monster who had been the one eating the employees.

[@sabrinamiller7509]

That's awesome, and entirely possible then that the creators of Spongebob were inspired by that!

[@emeraldkoala2543]

@@TheAdvertisement according to Google, that Buffy episode aired on the 29th of January 2002, while SpongeBob's first episode aired on the 1st of May 1999. So if they were inspired by the Buffy episode it couldn't have been from the very start. Could have inspired them later on though.

The patty is most definitely made of whale meat. There's a ton of evidence pointing towards this including that mr. Krab's daughter is a whale.

[@SpyrotheHedgehog1]

Some things Matpat forgot to mention. In the Episode where Plankton brings his entire family to steal the formula, we do have confirmation that 1 Chopped Onion is in there. Because Planton reads through the book with the recipe and says 1 Chopped Onion. While yes the recipe had been tampered with to throw off plankton, we do know some of the actual Ingredients are in there since it does state a Cup of Love is needed. Something as basic as chopped onion may be one of the few unedited ingredients as to not alarm plankton that it was fake. Another episode where Squidwards rich rival comes to the Krusty Krab and he makes SpongeBob forget anything unrelated to find dining, SpongeBob does state that the food is "Smothered in a rich Red Algae" meaning thay not only is Matpat right that they eat it, but since most of the money went to the decorations, the food probably had to use what was on hand, meaning they more than likely already had the Red Algae on hand for some reason related to the food. I would think it being part of their main food supply is the apex of why they'd have it.

The real question is when did SpongeBob learned the formula? Because prior to officially getting hired at the end of the episode “Help Wanted” he already knew how to make Krabby Patties when he had to make them for the crowd of anchovies.

[@redude08]

Nope, this is wrong! In fact, there are many inconsistencies that make almost every solution wrong. One of many examples is in Graveyard shift during squidward's story, where spongebob says "maybe he forgot the secret sauce." No secret sauce is ever talked about in the recipe from Pickles.

[@squidwardthecreator]

in one of the recent episodes plankton actually got some of the formula and it was…. salt

[@thecringeeascreator977]

It’s also worth noting that according to the 2006 game Creature From The Krusty Krab, one of the side effects of eating Krabby Patties is that it causes weird and abnormal dreams, as explained in the final level by the Patty Doctor. And during the ending, Spongebob (who has been making patties for years) decides not to give the Patty to Gary before bedtime because it might “give him nightmares” So maybe there’s another ingredient that makes the consumer of the patties have those kinds of dreams? Possibly originating from the original Plab Patty?

[@Ragetiger1]

Oddly enough it might be from the burger itself. Several foods that have been noted to cause "nightmares or vivid dreams" include cheese, pickles, and spicy food (the chili pepper). Looking over the video again, the 4 cups, the teaspoon, and the chopped onion was clearly mentioned, but there was that 2 tablespoon that was visible at the bottom that was never covered. 5:28 shows it clearly.

[@Wiimeiser]

@@Ragetiger1 Probably the salt, bread crumbs or turmeric

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

@@Ragetiger1 My first thought was cheese... also quite funny to learn about those other foods that can cause nightmares, since I have them all the time and have for as long as I can remember, with or without those foods, but those 3 things are some of my favourite ingredients 🤣... Kinda nice to not have to worry about avoiding them when I love them, because I'll have nightmares regardless of what I've eaten 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Mysza0045]

I think you are onto something. And i think the cause of those abnormal dreams is the first bottle of the 6 ingredients in the Friend or foe episode. Matpat says its liquid smoke but the bottle is filled with clear liquid and a picture of fire. When you google liquid smoke most of the products have dark brown color. This is not a liquid smoke its literately Fire water, its a slang word for high alcohol content beverages in USA and Eastern Europe. Those fish are alcoholics with a constant need for a high-proof patties.
