Synopsis[]

While he was looking for spare change as usual in his cheap ways, Mr. Krabs notices an oversized soy bean near Sandy's treedome. Interested in what could have enlarged the plant, he asks Sandy a tour of her residence. Sandy reveals the growth serum that made the plant enlarged, prompting Mr. Krabs to use it in a Krabby Patty. Using Sandy's phone, he calls SpongeBob for a Krabby Patty to test the growth serum, though the latter arrives before the call finishes. Sandy agrees to use the serum on the Krabby Patty, but only one drop. The experiment, to Krabs' satisfaction, works. Mr. Krabs smells something stinky, and Sandy abruptly excuses herself to the bathroom leaving the serum with Krabs. He promptly pours every drop on the patty, guaranteeing another money-making scheme. However, the patty keeps growing.

Havoc ensues with the customers fleeing the area. Squidward and SpongeBob try to flee as well, but Mr. Krabs stops them. Still thinking the scheme will make him rich, he tries to keep SpongeBob and Squidward at the Krusty Krab to work until Squidward points out the flaw in his plan before Mr. Krabs sees his cash register is getting buried by the patty. A scared Mr. Krabs then runs to save his prized possession, but as punishment for causing the disaster in the first place, he is swallowed up as well. SpongeBob and Squidward then run away as the Krabby Patty devours the whole Krusty Krab completely. In the Chum Bucket, Plankton sees it and, thinking that it was the biggest Krabby Patty that he has ever seen, he runs to it. SpongeBob tries to warn him that he has to get away from the patty, but he does not listen, as he approaches the patty and worships it before he gets swallowed up as well. Now expanding to a colossal scale, it begins consuming Bikini Bottom.

SpongeBob runs home, and he goes to Gary, who did not heed the warning until SpongeBob gets him out before their house is absorbed. SpongeBob then wakes up Patrick, who was dreaming of the event, but SpongeBob tells him of the danger and they get away as Patrick's house is destroyed as well. Hoping to find a solution at Sandy's house, they find her treedome destroyed. Sandy calls to him from her helicopter, and she reveals that the only way to reverse the extending process is if SpongeBob gets in direct contact with the big patty. SpongeBob complies and absorbs the giant mass of meat into his absorbent body. Everything goes back to normal except for SpongeBob in Krabby Patty form and huge. The Krabby Patties, which were absorbed, are added as Pre-Absorbed Patties in the Krusty Krab. The episode ends with Mr. Krabs selling rare absorbed Krabby Patties at the Krusty Krab while SpongeBob makes them with his thumb from the Krabby Patty because he is elongated with absorbed meat.

Trivia[]

General[]

• This episode premiered as part of the 2011 Super Stuffed Nicksgiving Weekend event.

  • However, SpongeBob's fridge magnet, swallowed by Gary, attracts coins in "The Cent of Money."
• When Mr. Krabs uses a magnet to search for money and attracts the other magnet, the sand only covers the other magnet itself. When the sand washes away, a rope can be seen attached to that magnet.
• Mr. Krabs does not need a water helmet to enter Sandy's treedome, since he is a crab. Crabs can breathe both air and water, but Mr. Krabs still inexplicably wears a water helmet in "Overbooked," "Surf N' Turf," and "Hiccup Plague."
  • This is the only time to date Mr. Krabs enters Sandy's treedome without a water helmet.
• After Squidward keeps running away while SpongeBob stops to warn Plankton about the giant Krabby Patty, Squidward disappears until the ending of the episode.

• This is the second episode where Mr. Krabs enters Sandy's treedome. The first is "Overbooked."
• The four patties falling onto the grill fall in sync to the background music during the scene, "Earls Revenge."

• This is the third episode in which Sandy's helicopter is seen. The first is "SpongeBob SquarePants vs. The Big One" when she builds it, and the second is "Sweet and Sour Squid."
  • This is also the only episode where the helicopter is not destroyed.
  • It is also revealed that it runs on coconut milk.
• This episode has the third longest title in the series, behind "Super Evil Aquatic Villain Team Up is Go!" and "."

Errors[]

• On the November 8, 2022 Nicktoons airing, when Squidward says "The restaurant's being invaded by a 300 foot uncooked menu item. We're getting outta here!," he says it twice in a row.
