Flip through the gallery to see the throwback cartoon foods we wish we could eat. Get ready for some serious nostalgia, and sorry if we spark your appetite.

8 of 12 The gummy Krabby Patties Nicklodeon makes are a farce of the original, which are so divine Squidward wants to marry and procreate with one. "Spongebob Squarepants" has been on the air for more than 15 years - isn't it time someone shared the secret Krabby Patty formula?
