Foggy Patty

Template:OTab Template:Object The Foggy Patty is a sentient rotten Krabby Patty that appears in the episode "Born Again Krabs."

Description

The patty is very old and moldy. When eaten, it will give one severe food poisoning. When Template:Data:Links takes it out from under the grill, he describes it as cold and hard and knows that it is quite possible that it rolled under there years ago.

Role in episode

During closing time, SpongeBob finds the patty under the grill and he throws it away but is quickly stopped by Template:Data:Links, due to the Pinch-o-Matic saying that it will save him a couple cents. SpongeBob tells Mr. Krabs that they should throw the patty away because it is expired and rotten, though Mr. Krabs refuses and tells him that he cannot make another Krabby Patty until the rotten patty is sold. Template:Data:Links finds out about the order and is disgusted by the patty before trying to sell it to a customer, who flees in horror.

Mr. Krabs continuously tries to sell the patty to people for weeks, but fails since it is spoiled and inedible. Mr. Krabs wonders why as Squidward angrily tells him that the patty has gone bad, but Mr. Krabs ignores him. The patty has become sentient enough that it barks and growls like a dog while being kept inside a cage.

To prove SpongeBob and Squidward wrong, Mr. Krabs attempts to eat the patty himself, but then turns green and extremely sick due to food poisoning, and is instantly taken to the hospital after taking one bite. Despite that, Mr. Krabs still asks SpongeBob to wrap up the patty as he still thinks it is edible. It is presumed that SpongeBob finally threw it away, afterward, despite Mr. Krabs' order.
