The Krabby Patty is a
veggie burger sold by the
Krusty Krab, a fictional restaurant in SpongeBob SquarePants.[3] Numerous theories have spawned of what the Krabby Patty secret formula is made out of, ranging from completely nothing[4][5] to
cocaine.[6][7] A notable theory about the Krabby Patty secret formula explains that Krabby Patties are made out of
crab meat. Support for this theory comes from the
season 3 episode "
Mid-Life Crustacean", in which
Mr. Krabs states, "So that's what I taste like.".[8] In 2017, the series's creator
Stephen Hillenburg confirmed that the Krabby Patty contained no animal products, thus debunking the crab meat theory.[3][9] Another theory explains that the Krabby Patty secret formula is made out of "Poseidon Powder",[10] which according to
Urban Dictionary,[11] is
slang for cocaine.[12][13]
