In the category of foods from animated series that anybody is familiar with, one would most likely consider the Krabby Patty from Sponge Bob Square Pants. Well, how about in the instance that this imaginary creation, a burger, crosses over from the Bikini Bottom to the land of the living? Very soon, we will find out thanks to the fast food chain best known for its square hamburgers, Wendy’s, whose new offering is the Wendy Krabby Patty meal. Will this be a dream come true for fans, or will it be some mouldy old carrot on the stick?
Introduction
As part of the 25th-anniversary celebrations of Sponge Bob Square Pants, Wendy’s has collaborated with Nickelodeon Crayola to launch the Krabby Patty. From a business perspective, this partnership is a marriage made in heaven and will leave many people’s tongues wagging. After all, if there is a plastic pattern of a burger which is round, and that sandwich is rectangular, how do you make that happen?
The Krabby Patty Craze
A Cult Favorite
And the Krabby Patty is the staple diet burger, it is perhaps the most sought-after fast-food item in the SpongeBob world. Its fans have enjoyed being obsessed by it for ages, thinking about its extra ingredients and how it would be like eating it in the real world. Now with Wendy’s getting in the picture, such day dreaming is stepping into a day dream — at least a fast food version of it.
From Sea to Town
Here is where the some issues arise. The Krabby Patty, which we have known so far, is a round burger. The same cannot be said of Wendy’s and its square patties. But even so how is a square Krabby Patty even possible? Will it hold true promise for the fans of the burger, or will the shape and sharpness take the attention from the delicious ‘buns “? Only time will tell.
What’s in the Wendy Krabby Patty Meal?
The Premium Cheeseburger
The Wendy Krabby Patty meal is not only designed for the end users’ recollection but also for the mouth as well. This special menu of theirs features in making a cheeseburger of premium and fresh vegetables with a secret sauce that for this purpose, the builders refused to reveal. As for the reason for this disillusion, all we can say is that the “secret sauce” has done its thing and it still has audiences all over the world on a whisper overload. Will it stand on the expectation or will it leave room for the challenges of the original Krabby Patty?
The Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty
But that’s not all. The meal also includes a Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty, a fun twist on Wendy’s classic dessert. The new combination adds the Pineapple Mango puree to the Vanilla Frosty ice-cream, which will without a doubt take any Wendy’s drinker to the Bikini Bottom. It’s an out of the ordinary one though not likely to suit every tom, d… and h.
The Marketing Genius Behind the Meal
Riding the Wave of Nostalgia
It would be foolish to overlook the fact that Wendy’s is capitalizing on nostalgia with this meal. SpongeBob SquarePants has been in action in pop culture for 25 years and bringing Sponge Bob Krabby Patty, is quite a marketing strategy for growing fans for those who were kids when the show aired. It is a clever gambit, and one that will probably appeal to customers who do not normally go to a Wendy’s.
Carefully Timed Appeal
The Wendy Krabby Patty meal is available for a short time period only between the dates of October 8th to the 11th of November. This ensures a buzz among the fans, making them go for it quickly lest its gone. Limited time offers have for so long been popular in the fast food industry, and this is no exception. However, will the excitement last long enough for them to make an impact?
Metaphorical Squarepants Based Riddle
Why Square Burgers?
The square shape of the Wendy’s burg rs has been a trademark of the company since it was founded in the year nineteen sixty nine. In what has been regarded as the company’s myth, the decision to have a square shape was because it would be easier for people to inspect the quality of the meat before the first bite is taken. While this is a good idea, it contradicts with the round shaped Krabby Patty most of us know.
A Geometric Dilemma
So what do you do with a round burger and decide to change it into a square one? Will the fans accept the new shape or will they turn it down as an unnecessary change from the norm? This is a risk that need to be taken, but it may just pay off if Wendys understands the theme of a Krabby Patty whilst maintaining Wendy’s image.
Conclusion: Marketing Outside the Box or a Step Too Far?
When all is said and done, the Wendy Krabby Patty meal is a brazen approach to brand synergy. This meal can be conceived that by fusing the nostalgia of SpongeBob SquarePants with Wendy’s average brand identity, it can turn out to be one of the best meals ever created. But, it also does not bode well for those fans that deeply love the Krabby Patty form that they do not want to accept the square form. It is uncertain if it is a tactical brilliance or a marketing blunder but one thing is for sure, this is one fast food collaboration that is going places.
