The Aged Patty, also known as the Magic Sandwich, is a rotten Krabby Patty that appears as a major plot point in the episode "Cuddle E. Hugs."

Description[]

It is a bacteria-infected Krabby Patty that is very poisonous. It is covered with green mold and hairs, and contains tainted buns, meat, and cheese. Consumption of it will result in the hallucination of a giant hamster named Cuddle E. Hugs.

Role in episode[]

Squidward and SpongeBob are cleaning up the Krusty Krab. Squidward finds a moldy Krabby Patty and throws it away, but SpongeBob prevents him from doing so as he thinks Krabby Patties should never be wasted regardless of their condition. SpongeBob then takes a bite of the patty and becomes sick to his stomach. He runs to the back of the restaurant to vomit and the Aged Patty causes him to hallucinate a giant hamster named Cuddle E. Hugs.

The next day, SpongeBob awakens to find Cuddle E. Hugs gone. SpongeBob figures a Krabby Patty would make him feel better, so he takes another bite of the old patty, sickening him once more. At that moment, Cuddle E. Hugs returns and he and SpongeBob reunite with a hug. Cuddle later reveals that no one can see him because they did not eat the Aged Patty. He then suggests that SpongeBob feed others the Aged Patty, so he does just that by cutting it into pieces and selling it at a stand in the Krusty Krab for free.

Everyone runs up and eats pieces of the Aged Patty, and just like SpongeBob, they hallucinate and see Cuddle. However, things take a turn for the worst, as Cuddle E. Hugs begins to eat everyone, although in reality, they are all having hallucinations caused by side effects of food poisoning from eating the old patty.

The next day, everyone, but SpongeBob, leaves in anger and disgust from Cuddle's actions. SpongeBob eats another piece of the Aged Patty to confront Cuddle for his actions. Cuddle explains that the "E" in his name stands for "Eat." SpongeBob then gives Cuddle the last piece of the patty. The hamster then hallucinates himself as a real-life hamster in a child's bedroom.
