Plot

It starts at the Krusty Krab when spongebob realizes they're out of tartar sauce, but when he checks the vat he realizes it's empty and it's been there for 50 years. When Mr. Krabs yells at him to get back to work, Spongebob explains the situation. Mr. Krabs gets an idea to start a time capsule.

The next scene shows the tarder sauce vat next to a hole with a large stage next to it. A huge line of people are in line to make contributions and Mr. Krabs tells Spongebob and Squidward to handle them while he sells souviniers. It shows several people making contributions which Squidward critiques but Spongebob finds everything amazing. Mr.Krabs sells cheap souviniers for outrageous prices. Patrick comes to make a donation of his favorite rock, squidward gets so mad he throws the rock in the air but hits the wood behind him flining Squidward, Spongebob, and Patrcik into the Time Capsule, trapping them. Mr. Krabs puts a copy of the Krabby Patty formula in the capsule making Plankton interested.

In the time capsule the 3 of them imagine what the future would be like until Squidward gets knocked out. Plankton drills into the capsule hitting shaving cream that sprays Patrick which gives him a beard and Patrick sprays Spongebob and Squidward. Squidward wakes up thinking its been 50 years due to the beard and escapes through the hole plankton created. The "future" isn't what Squidward wanted so he goes back to the time capsule shoving the formula into plankton's mouth on his way back. The episode ends with Plankton trying to go to the bathroom with Karen calling him "poopsy" and Plankton asks for more prunes.
