New Article: Eating Spongebob Squarepants.

The 11th hour...just in time. Today's article is a special feature about some of the incredibly many Spongebob Squarepants food promotions that have just hit store shelves, ranging from Pop Tarts to cereal, popsicles, Cheez-It crackers, fruit snacks and more. He even got his own macaroni and cheese! He's pretty much everywhere you look in the supermarkets these days -- it's almost as bad as those Hulk promotions we looked at last summer. Here's the article, including several really giant pictures that may potentially cause hunger. When will it end? When there's Spongebob chicken.

SPongeBobs into everything. I mean everything. Bandaids, bubble bath, food, clothing, underwear, (Even thongs-for 12 yr olds…scary), I happen to have the interactive talking spongebob where if you squeeze him he says things and his eyes bug out. if you whip him around (as I found out) he tells you to stop. Its so Cool.
On a side note, i cant make KD either. It always comes out as milky cheese water and chewy noodles. Matt is officially my hero for admitting his lack of KD skills first! Also, The Article was cool.

I work at Schnucks(grocery store) so I see a no end to the damn sponge bob products, thanks.

Ah… I love Kraft Mac n Cheese. I’m sooo making it for lunch tomorrow.

Ah, Spongebob. I’ve never seen such a weird phenominon. I don’t mean the product tie-ins, I just mean the fact that people either dig him or despise him. There’s no middle-ground here.

Personally, my favorite episode is the one where Barnacle Boy became a villain and Spongebob and friends had to become a Justice League-type superhero team. Just thinking of the live action commissioner and his maniacal laughing fit has me giggling.

Dylan had better pick Kelly, because Brenda is off in Paris pretending to be French, smoking cigarettes and eating brains.

Hi Matt, I’m from He-man.org. Been reading the site for years, but wanted to thank you for the support of the petition. Oh, and the years and years of entertainment:)

How about the Spongebob video games?
My son got the Gameboy Advance one for Christmas and I don’t think he’s stopped playing it yet.. just plugs it in when it needs re-charging.(The Gameboy not the cartridge) But he keeps right on playing :P

I’m glad to see that Gary got included in the Mac and Cheese. I mean, really, how many snails do you know that can tie their own shoes? I think he deserves a little bit of recognition for that.

Chestnuts roasted by Ian @ 02/04/2004 4:39 AM

Oh man you guys in the states are so lucky, I remember things like that spongebob mac and cheese being super mario mac and cheese, the reason why I compare the two is because its such a good way to eat mac! I mean the regular stuff isnt near as good trust me. And for some reason its harder to find that ‘shapely’ macaroni at any safeway up here… hm hm hm.

Your site is amazing, been a longtime watcher for a while now, keep up the good work we appreciate it!

Aye, I saw the Battle for Bikini Bottom for X-Box..thought about getting it for my son, and for myself possibly.

Chestnuts roasted by Justus Cade @ 02/04/2004 5:00 AM

My roommate and I get Spongebob macaroni and cheese at one of those wholesale food club store things… something like 20 boxes for $.008.

We like chewing on Spongebob. It’s symbollic of our desire to rend him asunder and cannibalize on his plainly tasty visage.

Great site. *tips hat*

Matt, how can you be bad at making Mac n Cheese? You want a tip? I find melting the butter in a glass measuring cup ( bigger the better), then pouring the milk into the measuring cup, then adding the cheese powder. Mix for a few seconds and then pour it over the noodles or whatever the pasta is shapped like. And presto.

That should get your better results than what you have before..

My first experience with Spongebob was a Comcast Cable kiosk that was outside of my work. They had a couple of TV’s and the internet (very convenient for me) always on and showing various shows. The people who worked there gave me an extra remote because the mall was always dead. One day I flipped to Spongebob and decided to check it out. It was the episode where they went to the beach. I kept thinking, "Hey! Aren’t they underwater?" And sure enough, they were under water and had found some sort of heavier water that was at "the beach." very stange. A friend assured me that this kind of thing happens all of the time on the show. That’s pretty cool.

That was so much Spongebob. I think something popped in the back of my brain…. from all the yellow.

Chestnuts roasted by I forget @ 02/04/2004 8:08 AM

Yarrr. I’m not a big fan of spongebob. My heart beats to only one Nicktoon: Ren and Stimpy. I had so much of their merchandise: games, clothing, I even collected the comic book. Sad times we live in. Well, I’m off to put a .50 caliber hollowpoint round in my head

Chestnuts roasted by SHANE! @ 02/04/2004 8:39 AM

I really hope that yellow thing resembling a sponge inside that..plastic thing resembling Spongebob’s arms and legs is actually a real usable sponge.

My mom wants one.

The mac and cheese is really good..I want the blue version now though.

Chestnuts roasted by Hollow @ 02/04/2004 8:42 AM

squee and allicat – I watched Carnivale, too. (It was actually pretty hard, finding someone else IRL who watched regularly.) It was wierd, hearing Mr. Krab’s voice coming out of a demonic priest. I keep expecting to see Mr. Krabs grab Mrs. Puff, say, "We’ve come a long way, sister!" and then kiss her. Eewwww…

heeloyd, we got some of those chocolate fries for the younguns, too. Disgusting. Who ever thought chocolate and potato would be a great taste sensation?

Spongebob, spongebob, where to begin. We sing that F.U.N. song all the time. I like the ones w/ Squilliam b/c it’s fun to see Squidward squirm.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 02/04/2004 8:52 AM

Matt, they did get rid of the funky fries… but not too long ago. I got them last november on a yearly trip with my friends. We all rent this big cabin, and get really drunk for a whole weekend. Anyway, I bought those things, and everyone was like… oh man your poop is going to be blue. But the fries were sooo good, they were crispy right out of the over, which is weird since usually fries are only crispy out of a deep fryer.

And my friends were right… the next morning… blue poop.

And you will receive a photo of my ass with M.C. X.E. on it by tomorrow.

Chestnuts roasted by chad @ 02/04/2004 9:33 AM

I love these kinds of articles. I’ll love it even more in a year or two when all this stuff is long gone. (I still check the old Hulk promo articles once in a while…love this fad crap)

Chestnuts roasted by Sugarbear @ 02/04/2004 9:53 AM

OK, is it just me, or have you noticed that whenever they have fruit snacks, the reds, purples, greens, oranges and what have you, are always semi-translucent. But the yellows are always opaque! The Spongebob snacks are no exception! What is up with that? Is there a translucent yellow # 4 shortage? Or did they do a marketing study that found out kids prefer milkier looking fruit snacks, or what??

Chestnuts roasted by B-Dawg @ 02/04/2004 10:12 AM

Well, damn. I was hoping you’d include the Spongebob strawberry-banana Leggo waffles I’ve been seeing at the grocery store. I’m really curious about them, but I haven’t dared to try ‘em out yet…

Chestnuts roasted by Samila @ 02/04/2004 10:51 AM

Looking at the Spongebob Mac & Cheese shapes… doesn’t the Patrick Starfish shape look like tiny Ku Klux Klan member outlines. Yet reformed ones, now able to come together with the others in the Bikini Bottom bath of cheese.
Yes, folks can learn a life lesson in thier bowl. A lesson of acceptance and how even noodle racists can find redemption.

Ah, the power of cheese.

Chestnuts roasted by Aconite @ 02/04/2004 11:12 AM

Darn, I wish my store still sold the special edition sponge-bob Kraft mac and cheese with – NO LIE – sea green cheese. The kids loved it, especially since they could gross me out at the same time. Looked awful. Tasted OK.
Oh, all the wonders of blue food dye.

"Winner takes all/the thrill of just one kill/the last one to fall/will never sacrifice their will…" That should have been the Halftime show at the Super Bowl.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 02/04/2004 12:11 PM

Oh, you missed the best of all, when last year Kraft released a SBSP Mac N Cheeze with blue colored cheeze. It tasted like chrome. (Don’t ask me how I know that) One short email later they returned my moneys. The end.
