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 "old and cold and so very full of mold" 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 immediately reeled back by the Pinch-o-Matic saying that it had saved Template:Data:Links 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 and backflips out of the restaurant in horror.
Mr. Krabs wonders why no one has stopped by the restaurant in weeks and questions if it's because of the new placemats. Squidward then 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.
