Plot

At the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob and tells him they are out of the secret ingredient. SpongeBob retrieves it in a briefcase, but when he opens it he finds that the ingredient is missing and there is a hole in the top of the case. With Patrick's help, SpongeBob questions Plankton, Sandy, Gary, and Squidward who, after the two accuse them, come up with something the complete opposite of their questions. Unsuccessful, the two go back to the Krusty Krab and report their fiasco to Mr. Krabs, who is found with the secret ingredient shortly after. Mr. Krabs is then forced to give away Krabby Patties for free all day as a punishment.

Trivia/Goofs

Judge Horace A. Whopper makes his second appearance in this episode. The first was The Krusty Sponge.
The people who were accused, and how they were:
- Plankton: He had his own version of the Krabby Patty, but SpongeBob never explained how he could have stolen it. He was on raw sewage when SpongeBob came.
- Sandy: She used an invisibility potion and snuck in, and used a time freezing ray, to use a laser to cut a hole in the case and get it. Sandy said that she just bought the Krabby Patties.
- Gary: Gary snuck on to one of the choppers, and when SpongeBob stopped to tighten his socks, he shot acid out of his eyes, and stole the ingredient. It was deemed impossible by both of them.
- Squidward: Gary said Squidward was walking out of the Krusty Krab with a black suitcase. Squidward shows them that the case contained his tap dancing shoes, in which he won 3rd place in a tap dance competition
- SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs thought that he set up a decoy, then swept down when no one was looking and stole it, then went to the Chum Bucket, and sold it to Plankton for a dollar.
- Mr. Krabs: He was the one who stole it, because he did not want to pay for it to be delivered.
This is the second time Sandy was invisible. The first was in Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V, when she tried to sneak up on the villains without being seen.
Water would have flooded Sandy's dome if SpongeBob were to dig a hole to get inside.
It is revealed that Plankton had every ingredient of the Krabby Patty formula figured out except the secret ingredient, and that it starts with R-Z.
This is the first time Mr. Krabs did not have a lawsuit.
SpongeBob was tending to the cashier, so who was making the Krabby Patties?
When SpongeBob yelled "Why'd ya do it Gary?!" it had the same animation as the movie.
If Squidward has four feet, then why did he have two tap dance shoes in the black case?
How can people sneak up on SpongeBob if there are guards around?
When SpongeBob looks all around the case, there was no hole, but when he looked at it again, there was a hole. So the ingredient should have been there.
This is the third time Mr. Krabs goes to court. The first was in Krabs vs. Plankton, and the second was in The Krusty Sponge.
Interestingly, ever since Season 4, Mr. Krabs goes to court once every season.
When the delivery person gives SpongeBob the case he is blue, when he warns SpongeBob he is green, and when SpongeBob runs he is blue again.
How can Squidward lift his own house to get SpongeBob and Patrick out?
This is one of the few episodes where Squidward isn't seen working at the Krusty Krab.
You don't actually have to wait until the end to find out the culprit, because in the beginning, Mr. Krabs said the whole restaurant is running out of the secret ingredient... and showed the the bottle of the secret ingredient to SpongeBob!!!
SpongeBob gives the customers the free Krabby Patties, but they never say how much they want.
Plankton's Krabby Patty is similar to the nasty patty.
Ever since this episode, Patrick is shown to be an ambidextrous. While in Krusty Towers and Patrick Smartpants he writes with his left while in this episode and Sing a Song of Patrick,and Sand Castles in the Sand, he writes with his right.
Did the secret ingredient bottle have anything inside? It looked quite empty.
The title card music is the same as Suction Cup Symphony and Krabby Road.
The Secret Ingredient is shown as one of the ingredients of the Krabby Patty, but on Friend or Foe?, the true ingredients fell to the patty batter after Plankton slammed the door. It's possible that the Secret Ingredient is used to make more flavor to the Krabby Patty.
The case with the secret ingredient in it isn't black. It's brown. Plus, Spongebob had it.
Reverse engineering a formula is perfectly legal.
