Just One Bite

"Just One Bite" is a SpongeBob SquarePants episode from Season 3. In this episode, SpongeBob tries to get Squidward to try a Krabby Patty.

Plot
The episode starts at the Krusty Krab, Squidward is handing a customer a tray of a King-Size Ultra Krabby Supreme with mayonnaise. After seeing the customer eat it, Squidward expresses his disgust for Krabby Patties, despite never having eaten one. SpongeBob insists that he tries one, claiming that they are so popular that the only people who dislike Krabby Patties have never eaten one. To get SpongeBob to leave him alone, Squidward eventually does and bites only a piece of the patty off. Squidward's opinion of Krabby Patties seems to remain unchanged, as he angrily says to SpongeBob that the one he tried was the worst food he has ever eaten and buries the patty to its "death."

When a dejected SpongeBob leaves, Squidward desperately digs up the patty and eats the remains when he realizes that he likes them. He wants to have more, but after already stating that he hates Krabby Patties to SpongeBob, Squidward then forces himself to sneak for one without him knowing, as he thinks that SpongeBob would never let him live it down if he found out that Squidward likes them. Squidward tries to have another Krabby Patty by stating an "order" to SpongeBob for a Triple Krabby Supreme on a kelp bun, with extra sea pickles and burnt to the crisp. After making it, SpongeBob announces the supposed customer's order, but no one responds, bringing him to the conclusion that they must have left, so he eats it himself, leaving Squidward disappointed over his missed opportunity.

After this attempt fails, Squidward then resorts to eating a half-eaten Krabby Patty from the trash can and digs it up, but before he can eat it, SpongeBob grabs the patty and sadly burns it, claiming that a Krabby Patty should not be disposed of in such means, once again ruining Squidward's chance to have another Krabby Patty.

After having a dream of a giant Krabby Patty as his wife, a determined Squidward continues to try to eat another patty by going back to the Krusty Krab in the middle of the night. He then enters the patty vault, where legions of ready-made Krabby Patties are. Before he can finally have another, SpongeBob enters. Squidward is surprised that SpongeBob is there, until SpongeBob says that he always comes to work at 3 a.m. to count the sesame seeds. SpongeBob is confused why Squidward is in the Krusty Krab at such an early time with the patty vault open and a Krabby Patty behind his back, before realizing that he likes Krabby Patties. Once SpongeBob asks Squidward, the latter openly states that he indeed loves Krabby Patties before wolfing down the patties in the vault. SpongeBob admits he knew it "all along" that Squidward could not resist a Krabby Patty's taste. However, soon, Squidward starts eating many Krabby Patties which Spongebob then warns Squidward not to eat too all of them. This would result in all the eaten Krabby Patties all go down to his thighs and, as Squidward sarcastically predicts, cause him to subsequently explode.

Later, as the episode ends, a bodiless Squidward is taken to the hospital in an ambulance, and a paramedic who is sitting beside him, holding his tentacles, jokingly says that he remembers the time he had his first Krabby Patty.
