Introduction to the Limited-Time Menu
This December, a certain giggly sponge has abandoned his post at the Krusty Krab for a job on dry land — at Burger King. On Dec. 1, BK released its new, limited-time menu in honor of “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants,” which hits U.S. theaters on Dec. 19.
New Menu Items
The menu features four “sea-sonal” creations inspired by all your favorite “SpongeBob” characters:
- SpongeBob’s Krabby Whopper ($6.99): A quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty on a yellow square bun with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayo and ketchup.
- Mr. Krabs’ Cheesy Bacon Tots ($1.99): Coin-shaped potato tots filled with cheese and bacon, served in a treasure chest carton.
- Patrick’s Star-berry Shortcake Pie ($2.99): Strawberry shortcake pie slice with layers of strawberry and vanilla-flavored cream, a cookie crumb crust, shortcake cookie crumbles and pink star-shaped sprinkles.
- Pirate’s Frozen Pineapple Float ($2.59): A frozen pineapple-flavored beverage topped with tropical-flavored cold foam.
- Bikini Bottom Bundle ($14.99): Customers can grab all the new items, which come in a Pineapple-shaped Under the Sea Box, with a medium float and 8-piece Cheesy Bacon Tots.
- King Jr. Meal: The chain is also offering a special-edition King Jr. Meal in a Pineapple shaped Under the Sea Box featuring one of six collectible SpongeBob toys and a limited-edition SpongeBob crown.

Previous Collaborations

The limited-time menu included a Krabby Patty Kollab Burger and tropical-flavored Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty in celebration of the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants.” And McDonald’s has featured the four-sided figure in its restaurants a couple times over the years. To coincide with the 2012 Summer Olympics, the chain released 16 sports-related, SpongeBob-themed toys in its Happy Meals. And in 2021, it released 10 SpongeBob Happy Meal toys.
