Kelp Jerky is a snack food that appears in the episodes "Sun Bleached" and "Porous Pockets," and the video game Nicktoons MLB.

Description[]

It comes in a small, light yellow bag with a transparent display window. The snack's name is written at the top of the bag in capitalized, red-orange letters.

The snack itself is strips of dark reddish-brown jerky.

Role in series[]

"Sun Bleached"[]

After SpongeBob becomes sun bleached, Patrick tries to give him a makeover by covering him in mud, putting armpit hair on his head, and replacing his teeth with two pieces of Kelp Jerky. This causes a mother to mistake him as a monster and run him over with her baby's stroller, with the disguise being dropped and replaced with a caramel makeover at the Ice Cream shop.

"Porous Pockets"[]

While the hundreds of trucks bring money to SpongeBob's house, he and Patrick sit back and watch while eating bags of Kelp Jerky.

Role in video games[]

Nicktoons MLB[]

It is used as an advertisement in the SpongeBob SquarePants-themed baseball field.

Trivia[]

  • It is a parody of a beef jerky.
  • Kelp Jerky is foreshadowed in "Porous Pockets" when, upon hearing the giant clam cough loudly, Patrick mentions to SpongeBob that he remembers coughing like that while eating a box of Kelp Jerky.
  • Both of its in-series appearances are in season 6 episodes that premiered in 2008.
