Food Theory: What Everyone MISSED About The Krabby Patty (SpongeBob)

I think we all want a dedicated video of the making and tasting of the crabby patty

Now we need a Food Theory where you guys actually make and eat the Krabby Patty recipe.

I'd want a video of Mat actually replicating this recipe irl

i like the idea of plankton seeing the chum part of the recipe and wrongly assuming its fish chum which is why the residents of bikini bottom hate it so much. so even if plankton had the entire recipe he would still be making it wrong because he would still be putting fish in it

The vegan patty idea reminds me of that one episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer where Buffy worked at a burger place and thought they were using the employees as ingredients, but in the end it turned out the "double meat" pattys were secretly vegan, and the restaurant kept it a secret for the same reason suggested in this video.
Also a sweet old lady who ate at the restaurant every day was actually a horrific monster who had been the one eating the employees.

We need a sequel to this where matpat cooks his Krabby Patty recipe

7:50 he never necessarily says seven "jars"/bottles, but he says ingredients. 2 of those jars look to be identical to each other, therefore you can make the assumption that there was just a larger quantity of that single ingredient stocked

Side note; even if Plankton somehow acquired the secret formula, and managed to use it in his restaurant, crabs would be able to sue him into insolvency for copyright theft and fraud, not to mention trespassing, burglary, maybe even armed robbery, Assault in the First Degree, Grand Larceny, willful destruction of property both private and public, and probably a few more felonies.

In the episode Friend or Foe, those ingredients fell off into the Plab Patty. And Karen can actually show those flashbacks. Why doesn't Plankton ask Karen to show it to him again since that's clearly the secret ingredients?

Matt really found out the ingredients of the Krabby Patty. Now I'd love to see him cook it 😅

Now we need a part 2, where matpat actually makes a Krabby patty out of those exact ingredients, tries it, and gives his feedback.

The amount of dedication that came to making the crabby patty is just sooo big

One thing that I think would be really interesting is that in one episode, plankton was trying to alphabetically figure out the recipe, saying he was on "raw sewage" which alphabetically comes BEFORE red algae

Now we need a food theory episode where Mat is actually throwing all these in a bowl and actually cook a patty with them!

Now we need people to actually put these ingredients together in the right amounts and make real Krabby Patties so we can finally get a taste of what they really are and why they are so heavily desired.

Now I wanna see Matpat actually try and make the krabby patty

I'm glad to see others agreed, we definitely need to get a video of you making one of these.

I think the biggest hint that Krabby Patties aren’t meat:
Krabs called it “Patty Batter”. Who calls grounded meat that?

Had a good idea for a video. You know how there are sooo many different cuts for fries, right? Shoestring, standard, curly, crinkle, waffle, wedge, etc. Well, based on criteria for what makes a good French fry, which cut is superior? I would say the criteria should be outter crispness, inner fluffiness, the ratio between the two, doesn't get greasy, and the shape holds the salt without becoming too salty. What do you think?

This makes sense because when mr krab and plankton was fighting for who gets the formula the pinch of chum got cut off of the paper so maybe the main reason mr krabs version of the patty is better is because he didnt add the pinch of chum

Who else thinks he needs to do a follow up episode where he not only cooks his own Krabby Patty but also goes fishing using it as bait to see how well it would actually attract fish?

now we need him to make a krabby patty on food theory. :)

MatPat needs to cook up a storm with his Krabby Patty recipe in a sequel to this! #KrabbyPatty #MatPat #Sequel

Hey Matt, since it’s nearly the holiday season, could you maybe do an episode on of how to make the best icing for cementing gingerbread houses just an idea

You know nobody's gonna rest until MatPat actually tries this recipe

Now that you have a recipe, I'm sure we all need a live prep and taste test for a double krabby patty with the works!

I think that the reason that @Spongebob Official said that there were only 6 ingredients was because the two purple jars are identical.

I think there were 6 ingredients, 2 of the jars are identical so maybe they contain the same things

Competition is exactly what all businesses do. I'm sure mat pat would be pretty mad if another youtuber made food theory videos with similar quality and style

probably the first time ever where mat Pat does not ruin your childhood

Everyone's said it but I'm gonna say it again - Mat needs to test out the quantities so we have an exact perfect recipe to follow. We need the sequel!

Now we just need a Game Theory about one of the SpongeBob video games so SpongeBob can be on all three Theorist channels.

Now we need Binging with Babish to make this patty!

Actually, the krabby patty is made of krab meat, Mr krabs literally says in one episode when eating it, "So thats what I taste like"
So the krabby patty being vegetarian/vegan is wrong.

I like how twice now matpat has ignored that nickelodeon has released the recipe on their website before

We need the follow up to this where Mattpat puts the recipe to the test!

I REALLY wanna see him try this

Now we wait for Binging with Babish to take this info, and make it palatable!

I'm here for this theory but slight correction. Yes there are 7 bottles/jars. But there's still 6 ingredients as two of the jars and contents appear to be identical

I would love to see you try this.

I've been thinking that Mr. Krabs started using his claw in place of the chum because it grows back [correct me if I'm wrong], and crab is often a main ingredient of chum (this is when it would start being called "Krabby Patty"- until barnacles were used, instead- since they can have a similar flavor, and be way cheaper and more abundant.
There's just one thing with barnacles; they're technically animals, so not really vegan- some would argue they are vegan because they're 'essentially' plants, but then you get into semantics.

Hey food theory, it's December and I have a question. Is fruit cake really as bad as everyone says?

Yes that is totally the recipe!

i know this took effort to make. thank you for another banger!

I'd love to see an episode where MatPat and his colleagues actually makes a burger out of these ingredients and do a taste test

I was fully expecting you to make the Krabby Patty in the end

I like to see u make it instead of just breaking down the secret ingredients

Okay, real talk: I would actually love to try this recipe out if we can figure out what amounts of the other ingredients we need. (Since fava beans, onion, and calcium are figured out already.) I even posted the ingredient list on a couple of Discords I go to in order to see if there were any good cooks who could figure it out.
Actually, a couple of people in the comments here suggested a collab with Binging with Babish to see if he could help. He's already done a few Spongebob vids, but those were using normal burgers. He might be the guy to figure out what amounts of the other ingredients we need.
(Also...one of the gibberish ingredients, while we don't see the gibberish word, shows 2 tbsp of something. That could be a hint as well.)

This is so amazingly well researched dude! Mad props. The only thing I want to say is personally I don't think that Mr. Krabs continued using the pinch chum though. In the episode Krusty Bucket SpongeBob mentions that they added a pinch of chum to it after a customer mentioned the patty tasted even better than usual. My guess is since Plankton got the chum part of the ripped recipe, Mr. Krabs didn't know it was one of their ingredients.
Over all I really loved the video though and thank you for this long awaited moment from our childhoods.

People who didn’t come from tiktok are allowed to like this.

14:42 Okay Mattpad now make a hamburguer with that. Challenge time 🎬

there WERE 6 ingredients on that shelf, 2 of them were the same ingredient in separate containers

This man accomplished what plankton was trying to do for his entire life in 18 minutes

Someone's gotta make this version of the Krabby patty for an aquarium tank to eat. (Assuming it's not overfeeding, or the burgers are made tiny)

Out of everything that has been consistent over the course of the entire series, they’ve done a better job at keeping the secret recipe a secret than trying not to make spin offs

My new question is... What is the cheese made of?

Now Binging with Babish has to make this (if he hasnt already.)

This can explain why spongebob burguers are preferred over lord neptune(don't know if that is his name but the emperor of the sea which spogebob competed against), he probrably didn't know that the pattys didn't take meat, so when the fish tasted the new burguers they were disgusted, as the taste can have a big difference
English is not my first language, sorry if there were some grammar mistakes

You forgot to add the French Salad Dressing or Thousand Island Dressing! That's the secret formula!

I'd love to see you team up with Babish on this one. He's done quite a few SpongeBob recipes and the real deal might just make his day.

I remember when I heard a theory (idk were) where the crabby Patty's were made out of whales! that's why the only whale you see is pearl. Because Mr. crabs hunted them all down to make the Patty's

I’m a no veggie guy so my ideal Krabby Patty would just be a patty with cheese, ketchup and mustard.

we tend to forget that steven hillenberg was an aquatic enthusiast and made SpongeBob to show his love for the sea and probably food

that's all well and good, and all, but...yeah, you're gonna make this burger next video...right?

Sir, there better be a sequel to this where you make and try it with Steph and some other Team Theorist members. We need to see the taste reactions. 😆

We should have a food theory video with Mr.Beast to make a accurate Krusty Krab in real life.

10:11 that actually means they have two ingredints because the paper was cut in half

Me i'm vegan and i'm happy to know that the Krabby Patty is vegan! :D :>

In one episode, Mr Krabs eat's the Krabby Patty, He says "That's what i taste like "

Honestly, I like both of Matt Patt's explanations for the secret formula. After all, none of the "secret ingredients" he proposes are that extraordinary so I think they both might be at least partially correct. Cool theories! And yes, now I want to see a Crabby Patty tried and made. Also, I hadn't previously realized Plankton and Krabs were once business partners- no wonder Plankton feels so entitled to the recipe!

7:52 not really, cause he says 6 ingredients, and yes there are 7 bottles/jars, but two of them look similar, so they’re probably the same ingredient

Krabby Patty Formula:
Crab Meat (The Organic Patty) + Seaweed Sauce
Faba Beans (Just about 3-5)
Tomato’s
Lettuce (organic leaf lettuce)
Normal American cheese
Onions (not rarely)
Red Alge Extract
Flour
Chili pepper sprinklings
Soy sauce (Only in a FEW burgers)
Calcium (barnacle shavings)
Bread crumbs
Liquid smoke
Turmeric
Salt
And of course, spongebobs love ❤
[There you go, your welcome.]

There's a flaw in your logic: all press releases show, that Yemoja presented Ounje in December of 2021. So how could Spongebob's creators have known about it two decades earlier? Also, the flame probably is in regards to a flammable (therefore alcoholic) liquid.
Unfortunately this comment will be buries under the 7000 all saying he needs to make this for real. Kids, do you have any idea, how YT works? You've got a like and a reply button. Your limited swarm intelligence makes you all look like bots.

I know what the Krabby patty formula is and you might think it's Krabs, but it's darker than that. The formula shall remain secret though.

This has all just been leading up to MatPat teaching us how to make the Krabby Patty. First, uncover the secrets. Then spread them for free. We've officially put The Krusty Krab out of business.

Man, I love the final conclusion with red algae, but I can't help but notice the weakness in the call to the spongebob lore channel. It seems to me like the reason the narrator said 6 ingredients is because there were 2 of the same jar, so that was just one ingredient in a large quantity. Although it also seems an odd detail to mention the channel if the only use was to say they are wrong and move on. Either way... loved the episode!

Sounds like you need to get one of those industrial lightsabers.

So as plant based diets become more trendy and accepted, the crabby patty formula might benefit from becoming public eventually.

Since this is Food Theory, you should've cooked it

Btw it also has to do something with that mustard. I clearly remember that in one episode which they have to mine and extract mustard in a actual Mine, I know it is really bussin after seeing their reaction after tasting that mustard.

Wait but in one episode Mr krabs said "so this is what I taste like" when he tried a krabby patty

I am now left with the desire for this to be made and tried for real! P r e t t y P l e a s e ?

well will there be a part two where you actually make the burger?

I expected you will make it at the last, taste it and tell me how it is. Mmaah, I feel incomplete now

that's what you get when an expert creates a cartoon about his field of expertise, ridiculously accurate facts in a cartoon hardly anyone would care about, unless you're a nerd, and yes, there are lakes under water, they are called "brine pools" pockets of water with extremely high salt concentration, but I wouldn't know if fish actually enjoy coming in contact with that brine

MatPat needs to make krabby patties

in my opinion, i dont think there is chum in it (anymore) because that was the ingrediant krabs lost in said episode, plus if it did contain chum, (even vegan chum) i dont think he would want spongebob with him

There has to be a part 2 of this episode where Mat tries to make the patty based on the ingredients he found

I mean matt... the 6 special ingredients are six, the fish wasn't lying, yes 7 bottles and jars of stuff fell in but 2 of them are stacked one right behind the other unlike the others, and comes in the same size, shape, and color container, logically speaking it's not a different ingredient it's just a 2nd of that same one thereby making it 6 ingredients not 7.

Now it's hard to think about who's right Alex bale Matpat

missing the part where you make some and test if it's tasty or not

Please make the patty now! You must!!!!!

now, let's have Babish cook this crabby patty for science!

I want someone to actually make a vid and see what it tastes like

Video starts at 4:28

Normal persons: Oh a theory about the secret formula
Persons how saw the theory most recent theory of matpat: OH GOD IS STARTING THE MADNESS

Now we just need to see matpat cook one of the krabby patties using this formula and what could be improved...

If Spore taught me anything, it's that didgeridoos are uncompromisingly lethal.

Aww I thought it was gonna be crab 😭

someone needs to try this
