Wendy's KRABBY PATTY Kollab is a CASH GRAB! Honest Review of Wendy's SpongeBob Promo

[@Marpaparp]

I feel like they should have gone way harder with the packaging, with Krusty Krab/Spongebob theming.

[@borbetomagus]

Instead of offering a product worthy of the theme?

[@andrescrux]

Exactly what I thought👌💯 like least make special everything w the package

[@andrescrux]

​@@borbetomagusmaybe just a larger scale 🍔 🤔🤷

[@gigglybeast]

If you go "way harder" on nothing, isn’t it still nothing? I think your comment should have said it should have had some themed packaging, since it had absolutely none.

[@S_S4898]

Wendy couldn’t have gone lazier about it if they tried. And they tried!

"...really unhinged person outside..."🤔Imagine THAT in NYC!🤣

[@jaxhoffalot2812]

My first night ever in NYC, 2016, two black dudes shouting & threatening to shoot each other...on the upper west side, in the theatre district. Pretty confident it wasn't just a street audition & just regular tomfoolery.

[@TheSuperPsychoKiller]

It’s totally a scam. No toy and no special packaging. If you gave this to someone they wouldn’t know it’s SpongeBob related.

[@Markodude]

Just buy a Dave’s single, ask for no ketchup, no mayo and tell them to add the Krabby Patty Sauce. You just saved money.

[@very_awake]

When the Simpson Movie came out in 2006 a lot of 7-11 (at least in Canada) were converted to a Kwik-E-Mart - they were selling those pink donuts that Homer eat all the time. I still remember how good they were.

[@Reconseal4050]

Its basically a Dave's special. The Wendy's collab is just terrible. The fry box, drink, and burger wrapper doesn't even have Spongebob graphics.

[@donjulio4025]

I'm going to guess that not a single piece of pineapple was used to make that frosty.

[@GirlOnAQuest]

of course not!!

[@Ryanvondrake]

Course not they're corporate they don't generally care about the customer unless they take a huge dip in sales and more than likely this is a one and done thing so basically cash grab

[@LauraSmith-z4p]

I love that you can review Wendy's with the same earnestness that you bring to haute cuisine. Cheers to nostalgia! Are you supposed to use a straw on the frosty? That would resolve the mystery of the syrup on the bottom....

[@southbronxpapi9632]

i live in pennsylvania and over her it’s $10.59 for a medium meal i didn’t like it the sauce didn’t have a great flavor to it i would have placed the sauce on the bottom of the frosty put a bit of the frosty then topped it off w a big more sauce because the frosty to sauce ratio is bleh

Would've made more sense if they dusted the fries with old bay seasoning and added a pineapple slice on the burger.

"Great minds eat alike." That should be your catchphrase.

[@295g295]

4:51 - At Wendy's, there is always chocolate flavor. A few years ago, also vanilla flavor was added, but through the year, other flavors are offered such as this pineapple flavor, and pink-mint in December, rather than vanilla.

[@hammersampson]

Your Patrick Star impression was pretty good. The secret ingredient in Krabby Patties is crab. Why do you think there’s only one crab character in the entire ocean?😂

I ordered it for my son and he was so disappointed. Looked like a regular meal. No special packaging or wrapping. Nothing wow about the burger. For 13 bucks I expected more

[@smokedsalmon9991]

Ha! This is a great review! I am curious to try it only for the pineapple frosty honestly, a friend of my who works at Wendy's share with me that pretty much when Wendy's does seasonal frosty they just use other drink syrups on hand. Basically the pineapple one is from one of the fruit drinks syrups, the pumpkin one was just the pumpkin spice latte syrup. But hey would like to try it still :)!

[@uaeats]

Interesting! I'm not at all surprised. It was actually not bad!

I was more surprised by the crinkle cut fries.

[@jwil026]

I wanted to add, since when does Wendy's use crinkle cut fries?

[@mattmichaels5195]

Watching this, it came to me how funny it would be if someone dressed up as Plankton and walked into Wendy's spitting out the burger and trolling the workers saying some of the lines here like it being watered down big mac sauce 😂

[@jeongsungwoo]

Patrick impression is on POINT

[@danywho8898]

This makes no sense at all. The real krabby patty in Spongebob is meatless, the creator of the show even confirmed it himself. So how can a regular meat burger be a krabby patty than?

[@DovidM-s4c]

I always thought a krabby patty would be like a crab cake on a bun

[@danywho8898]

Mr. Crabs is a crab, so if a krabby patty would be made of crab meat, than he would be a cannibal.

[@heyimadino]

You think Wendy’s would actually care to use imitation crab meat to make the patties?

[@BuckMarley]

lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions. Is what is in a krabby patty and is exactly what you get. “cAsH gRaB” is an understatement when your getting exactly what you should of been expecting

[@f1jones544]

I went to a Wendy's for the first time in years a few weeks ago. The entire experience was lousy and sad. Overpriced, cold, flavorless burger. They only flavor came from the gobs of ketchup and mayo on it. The meat was unseasoned, the bun was slightly stale. The fries were limp and bland like the burger (I'd have very much preferred those crinkle fries). Hated having to order at a kiosk, they would not take my order at the counter. About a dozen people were crowding around the counter for their food. The place was dirty, the music was blaring so that I could barely hear the girl tell me that she wouldn't be taking my order, she had to point to the kiosks. I don't expect to go to another.

[@GraveMemories]

Ive been hearing very disappointing things about this Im not sure why wendys thought this was a good idea, as im sure most of their employees werent alive when the show first aired

[@uaeats]

I think it was a very good idea for them from a business standpoint. They left the burger pretty much intact except a markup, and got way more business just because it's Spongebob related

[@Black0bsidian]

They thought was a good idea bc MONEY😂. It’s just a cash grab and it’s been working. And what do the employees not knowing about the show have to do with anything?

[@GraveMemories]

I guess you could say that, but pissing off a huge HUGE fanbase like spongebobs is not the best of ideas. Short term monetary gain over making your customers happy so they trust you is not the move. Great video so far. ​@uaeats

[@GraveMemories]

​@@Black0bsidiani see a lot of people turning on wendys, lots of kids throwing a fit because they didnt get their stickers, etc and it will look bad for both spongebob and wendys Lying to your customers for an extra 6$ per order is not the right way to do business I hope you see what im trying to say

[@briansmith48]

The employees might not have been alive or very young when it first aired, but the parents were definitely around. If you've seen all of these reboots all of a sudden, it's because the people who watched them have kids now and they want to share it with their children. Also those former kids have money now. 🤑

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

the pineapple shake seems great to me. i dunno why a citrus fruit and cream you thought would be a bad combo lol

[@m.theresa1385]

Real sad that there isn’t any special packaging. Nothing to make a kid excited! No souvenir here. Is it at the discretion of the franchisee to buy the promotional trimmings? (Seasoning /wraps etc) with the location they won’t have much kiddie traffic, maybe they simply skipped it?
