ARE YOU READY, KIDS?
Prepared for what, you ask?
Prepared for probably the most epic collab of 2025: Burger King x SpongeBob, aye-aye!
Burger King celebrates the brand new film with a full lineup of limited-time choices, all decked out in true squarepants trend. And sure, Wendy’s rolled out its “Krabby Patty Kollab Meal” final yr, however sorry – BK knocks it out of the pineapple with this one.
The ocean of choices and the lovable packaging put me in full Bikini Backside mode earlier than I even positioned an order. They even handed me a SpongeBob-themed paper crown. I’m 99% certain it belonged to a children’ meal, however that didn’t cease me.
The Bikini Backside Bundle is the clear MVP as a result of it contains all 4 limited-time gadgets: the Krabby Whopper, Mr. Krabs’ Tacky Bacon Tots, Patrick’s Star-berry Shortcake Pie, and the Pirate’s Frozen Pineapple Float.
The float got here out first, and like SpongeBob ready for the bus at Rock Backside, I refused to attend. My eyes begged it to be a Dole Whip cousin, but it surely landed nearer to a 7-Eleven Slurpee – icy, not creamy. Nonetheless, the tanginess stunned me in a great way, and it labored completely as a palate cleanser. The press launch promised “tropical chilly foam,” but when it existed, it vanished sooner than Plankton’s plans.
On the drive residence, my automobile smelled unbelievable – like somebody melting butter within the backseat. The Bikini Backside field works as each packaging and aromatherapy.
Upon arrival, I dug proper into Mr. Krabs’ Tacky Bacon Tots. They arrive in an absurdly cute treasure chest. They’re coin-shaped (very on model for Mr. Krabs), savory, salty, and satisfying. I needed gooier cheese, however that’s simply me nitpicking.
Then I moved on to the primary course: SpongeBob’s Krabby Whopper. It appears precisely like what 10-year-old me dreamed a Krabby Patty would appear to be: a brilliant yellow sq. bun. The colour comes from “pure spice,” which I assume is code for turmeric. One chunk in, the traditional flame-grilled Whopper taste hit immediately. Nostalgia achieved. Ten-year-old me would have screamed; present me nonetheless felt fairly jazzed.
I needed to finish the meal on a excessive be aware, as dessert is my favourite meal, after all! Nonetheless, Patrick’s Star-berry Shortcake Pie was tough. Visually, it’s lovable. Style-wise, not a lot. The cookie crust has a soggy backside, the filling leans too closely into Cool Whip territory, and the strawberry taste tastes overly synthetic. I tapped out after one chunk.
However whether or not you’re a SpongeBob superfan or simply squarepants-curious, the Bikini Backside Bundle delivers. 4 new LTO gadgets, particular packaging, toys, crowns…BK didn’t cellphone this in; it went full ship.
BK now stands for “Bringing Krabby vibes,” as a result of this collab lands as enjoyable, flavorful, and simply the correct amount of chaos. Seize the bundle, channel your internal child, and dive in.
