==Plot==
SpongeBob eats a rotten Krabby Patty, which causes him to hallucinate and see a giant, fluffy hamster named Cuddle E. Hugs, who introduces himself as SpongeBob's "new best friend". The two walk around town, but SpongeBob is the only one who can see him. Patrick is jealous and is thrown into a fit of rage. Sandy can't see him either. So SpongeBob begins selling "Aged Patties" in a booth at the Krusty Krab, eventually causing everyone in the restaurant to see and cherish Cuddle E. Hugs. He turns evil, however, and begins eating customers and terrorizing the Krusty Krab. Later, after waking up and finding they were no longer being eaten alive by the giant hamster, everyone leaves except for SpongeBob, who visits Cuddle E. one more time, this time feeding him a rotten Aged Patty and apparently sending Cuddle E. Hugs back to being a regular hamster in a cage.

==Trivia/Goofs==
*This is the fourth episode to air as part of [[SpongeBob: You Bring The Color|You Bring the Color Week]].
*Cuddle E. Hugs reveals the "E" in his name stands for "Eat" after devouring Krusty Krab patrons.
*Patrick, jealous of Cuddle E. Hugs being SpongeBob's "new best friend," shouted, "Give me his love!" toward what he perceived as Cuddle E. Hugs. However, love that belongs to SpongeBob cannot be given away by anyone other than SpongeBob, because love is an invisible concept and not a concrete noun. 
*Squidward does not eat the Aged Patties at all, which means he could not see Cuddle E. Hugs.
