History
The Frozen Krabby Patty's origins trace back to a rather fun day that SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star were having throughout Bikini Bottom. At the Barg'n Mart, while SpongeBob and Patrick are buying their favorite ice cream, Eugene H. Krabs walks by and grabs a box full of frozen food, which he marvels at because of its convenience. SpongeBob sees this and gets the idea to sell Frozen Krabby Patties, speculating that people will love them because of how convenient they are. Mr. Krabs hears this and decides to carry out with the idea, which he humorously claims to have had before SpongeBob said it.
Mr. Krabs, along with the help of SpongeBob and his daughter Pearl Krabs, create their own well-intentioned, albeit cheaply made, advertisement for the Frozen Krabby Patty, which he presents to the businessman Don Grouper. While Grouper isn't particularly impressed with their "commercial," he is mindful of the immense potential that the idea has, and he decides to help Mr. Krabs create an ad campaign to promote the Frozen Krabby Patties. Grouper hypothesizes that to create a successful ad, they would need someone who could represent the target audience for this new product, which would make the commercial itself more relatable, and therefore memorable. The new face of Frozen Krabby Patties ends up being Patrick Star. After the first commercial airs, Grouper tells Mr. Krabs that he is bound to make a lot of money, but he will make even more if he changes the recipe and adds some "filler," much to SpongeBob's dismay. He then gives Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob a tour of the factory where these new Patties are made. While touring, SpongeBob notices the workers using sand in the recipe for Patties, which Mr. Krabs tells him to ignore. Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs gets his first revenue check for the Frozen Krabby Patties, which puts him in a state of bliss. The new Patties are a monstrous success, and everyone seems to be enjoying them, despite some noticeable side effects.
Later, after dismissing SpongeBob from his job as a fry cook, Mr. Krabs immediately rehires him to work in the Krusty Krab museum, which documents the complete history of the Krusty Krab, complete with animatronic versions of the employees, and merchandise, which includes the Frozen Krabby Patties themselves. Mr. Krabs decides to celebrate his new fortune by eating one, but by the look on his face, the new Patty seems to taste disgusting. However, Mr. Krabs is in denial because of how well everything is going, and he decides to grin and bear it. Meanwhile, Patrick becomes a major celebrity due to the success of the new commercials, but because of this, his friendship with SpongeBob seems to be slowly fading. SpongeBob visits Patrick in his lavish new home, but is ridiculed by the snooty new people that are associating themselves with him. SpongeBob tries to have some fun with his friend but Patrick is pulled away for an important photo shoot, looking as sad as SpongeBob. Also, Patrick's 400th commercial is coming up soon, which makes everyone else very excited.
Later on, at the Krusty Krab museum, Sheldon J. Plankton comes by and tries to take the formula, but he's confused when SpongeBob doesn't do anything to stop him. SpongeBob tells him that there is no point in stopping him because all the formulas in the restaurant are blank souvenirs. Plankton then asks for a Frozen Krabby Patty, which SpongeBob obliges to. SpongeBob tells Squidward Tentacles, who was also fired and joined the museum as a worker after failing to become a writer, that the patties aren't the same as before, and by eating one, he discovers that they're made of sand, which was the "filler" that SpongeBob heard about before from Don Grouper. Filled with an overwhelming sense of determination, SpongeBob reads the real secret formula and cooks up a fresh one, and then runs over to Patrick. Patrick notices him, and they start running towards each other, with SpongeBob yelling to him that the new Frozen Krabby Patties are made of sand. SpongeBob then gives Patrick the one he just cooked, which rekindles his love for the sandwich. Patrick says he has a shareholders meeting in a few hours and doesn't know how he'll be able to talk positively about the new Krabby Patties because they taste so bad. SpongeBob tells Patrick that he has to listen to his heart, as well as his gut.
At the shareholders meeting, Grouper and Mr. Krabs are proud that the Frozen Krabby Patty ad campaign has been such a success, and are about to unveil their long-awaited, 400th commercial. Patrick is called to make an opening speech, since he is the official mascot of the frozen sandwich. After a bit of inner conflict, Patrick reveals that the Patties are made of sand, which exposes Don Grouper as a fraud. Soon, everyone in the audience begins to violently vomit up sand, as well as everyone else in Bikini Bottom once the news is revealed to them. The Frozen Krabby Patty is then discontinued.
