Wendy’s announced Wednesday that it is teaming up with Paramount to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “SpongeBob SquarePants” by launching the “Krabby Patty Kollab.”

The “Kollab” offers two menu items that will be available nationwide at Wendy’s restaurants for a limited time:

Pineapple Under the Sea Frosty: A vanilla Frosty with a pineapple-mango flavored puree swirl – a unique Frosty flavor innovation.
Krabby Patty Kollab burger: The restaurant’s take on the famous cartoon burger features a quarter pound of beef, two slices of melting American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and a “top secret Krabby Kollab sauce” on a toasted bun.

Both menu items will be available nationwide in the U.S., Canada and Guam starting Tuesday, Oct. 8, Wendy’s said in a news release Wednesday. Customers in Los Angeles can get an exclusive taste of the Krabby Patty Kollab Meal through an “immersive Wendy’s drive-thru experience” in Panorama City on Monday, October 7 and Tuesday, October 8, Wendy’s said.

“It makes sense that two of the most iconic squares in pop culture are teaming up to bring a taste of this unique, limited-time experience to life for fans of all ages!” said Lindsay Radkoski, US Chief Marketing Officer of The Wendy’s Company, in the press release.
