Two… sal-ads. Never heard of it. I got to stay hip. I don’t want to end up like silly old Squidward. But what in the name of Davy Jones’ locker is a sal-lad?
—SpongeBob in Bossy Boots
A Salad is a food consisting of the Krabby Patty's tomato and lettuce that was sold at the Kuddly Krab. Before it was sold there, Mr. Krabs
opened a salad bar as a gimmick to get customers.
Appearances
In "Bossy Boots", SpongeBob was supposed to make two. Pearl Krabs made one by removing everything from two under sea burgers except the tomato and lettuce. SpongeBob was shocked and apparently had never seen a salad before this day. Even though he was broken-hearted after destroying a couple of Krabby Patties, he sadly brought them to the customers. They looked sad, too.
In "Culture Shock", the Krusty Krab appeared to have a salad bar. In this particular episode, Mr. Krabs made the salad bar free after having a very long loss of customers. The salad bar is also seen in "My Pretty Seahorse" when Mystery eats out of it. Ironically a side salad is usually seen on the menu, indicating that SpongeBob does know how to make a salad. Mystery also ate Mr.Krabs money thinking it was salad.
Trivia
- SpongeBob calls them by "Sal-ads" as a running gag in the episode Bossy Boots.
