Do you remember the 'Krusty Krab Training Video'? I remember it so vividly it feels like I was the one trained

For every new Krusty Krab employee, the ultimate career goal is to create a mouth-watering Krabby Patty by hand. However, before one can even think of picking up a spatula, one must thoroughly learn the ropes of the restaurant game, and the Krusty Krab Training Video is the perfect tool for fine-tuning the fresh new cog enthusiastically entering the service industry machine.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been trying to find what the secret formula is for the Krabby Patties. Some might say I've become more and more like Sheldon J. Plankton as time went by. I've always been fascinated by how the food, or more specifically the Krabby Patties, looked so delicious in SpongeBob.

I can totally understand why Plankton was so obsessed with stealing the secret formula. I just wanna say I don't understand why they were so mean to him when they could've integrated him into the team, worked together, and made everyone happy, lol. Although if they had done that, the show would've had no reason to go on, so I do get it; I just don't morally agree with it. But morality toward the 'bad guys' in cartoons is a whole other conversation.

My personal favorite delicious iconic meal from SpongeBob was the "Pretty Patties", the Krabby Patties that initially came in six different colours in the episode "Patty Hype". They were created by SpongeBob in an attempt to attract more customers to the restaurant.

I simply thought coloured hamburgers were such a great idea and that I would've loved to try one in real life, even if they are full of food colouring. I guess you could also attempt a healthier version by colouring ingredients with natural dye; anything can be done if you put your mind to it- just make the coloured patties already!

When I was researching this, I came across this wonderful website I didn't know existed that is called Ecyclopaedia SpongeBobia, and I believe it's my duty as a SpongeBob fan to share it with the world.

Anyway, back to the Krusty Krab training video. In that episode, I learned that (to put it in Mr. Krabs' words) "The money is always right!", and that pretty much sums up why I find that character and the entire show's universe so funny.

Did you know Mr. Krabs built the Krusty Krab from an Old retirement home? This backstory gives him much more depth as a character and really adds to the Krusty Krab's history. At first glance, you might feel every character is ridiculous, but as you learn more about the show, you realize every detail makes sense.There are countless conspiracy theories about the SpongeBob universe, but I will save those for later meme lists. For now, enjoy these new takeaways about the Krusty Krab's philosophy, and research the huge Encyclopaedia Spongebobia if you want to find deeper meanings about episodes you thought only existed in your memory. I'll see you next week!

SpongeBob is one of those shows children and adults can enjoy at the same time. Jokes for parents are hidden in the script so well that children can watch it without noticing, and parents can enjoy it without feeling like children. I wish I could watch the show with my children one day if I have any, but it will probably look prehistoric to them.
