The Krusty Krab was busier than ever that day. Spongebob was on his five minute lunch break, courtesy of Mr. Krabs. He has now eaten his tenth Krabby Patty, but this time it tasted different…in fact the patty tasted better than before.

“MMMM Spongebob said with his trademark grin on his face. “This patty tasted better than ever!”

As he walked towards the cashier, numerous patrons ate away in bliss as the each gave compliments to the yellow fry cook with a wave.

“This patty’s great before dude, and it’s already better!” called one customer.

“Keep up the good work!” Added his wife.

“Spongebob, this patty will go great with melted butter!” Larry the lobster said.

“I’ll bring it in a second,” Spongebob said with a wink as he finally walked into the counter.

Spongebob breaks a piece to offer his “friend” and co-worker Squidward who was busy reading a magazine.

“Hey Squidward,” Spongebob greeted. “The patties already tasted great before, but this one tasted better than ever!”

“No thanks Spongebob,” Squidward snapped as he put down his magazine. “Didn’t you remember what happened last time I’ve ate that junk food?”

“So?” Spongebob asked with a shrug. “You ended up liking it.”

“I’ve gotten addicted to it to the point it went through my thighs and exploded!” He said

“So?”

“Mr. Krabs took my already meager year’s pay for the damages and the hospital bill.”

“So?”

“Now I have to work here for the rest of my life with you!”

“So?”

“Spongebob, I can’t explain it any further than that.”

“So?”

“SPONGEBOB!”

“Sorry…”Spongebob apologized, “But Squidward, I swear this time you won’t happen again.

Squidward sighed and reluctantly took the piece, as he ate the burger, his expression abruptly changed from indifference and crankiness to amazment and happiness.

“Wow, you’re right Spongebob, this DOES tasted better than before. He admitted with a nod. “Maybe I was being more negative than before, maybe I won’t become addicted to them again.”

30 minutes later…

“I gotta have more… just one more bite!” Squidward muttered insanely on the cashier floor as he was sweating copiously and rocking in a fetal postion.

Meanwhile, at Mr. Krabs’ office, he chuckled as he was counting away the customer’s money. But he was chuckling away actually ASIDE from money Even to his employees, the actual recipe for the patties remained secret only to him. The recipe was slightly changed. After all…sea cow meat was getting expensive these days… and there was a lot of missing people in Bikini Bottom recently…

“Mom, why is this patty pink?” A child asked to his mom. “It tastes okay, but there’s something bothering me.”

Before the kid’s mother tries to answer, the patty crazed Squidward tackles the patrons down.

Panic automatically erupted the restaurant as Squidward begins to devour every burger he sees with Spongebob cowering in the kitchen.

Mr. Krabs went to see the commotion as he sees Squidward going wild and laughs menacingly at the customers.

“I always did wanted calamari in the menu…” He said to himself.

The end!
