As a child absorbing hours of Saturday morning cartoons, did you ever think, “I wish I could taste that Krabby Patty,” as Spongebob flipped burgers on the grill? Or perhaps you were a Harry Potter fan who dreamed of one day trying Fire Whiskey (but not until you turned 21, of course).

Well, look no further. The time to try the imaginary foods you grew up with is now.

1. Krabby Patties from “Spongebob Squarepants”

Krabby Patties are Spongebob Squarepants’ specialty, with perfect, golden buns crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, pickles, ketchup, and a “secret sauce.”

Firewhiskey comes from J.K Rowling’s fictional Harry Potter world and is known for causing “a burning sensation when drunk, and for filling one’s body with courage.”

Its real life equivalent hands down must be Fireball, a popular college alcohol with a cinnamon bite that warms your insides with a satisfying burn. Fireball lovers, you can make your Fireball 4 ways like this.

3. Scooby Snacks from “Scooby Doo”

That creamy-looking addictive paste of goodness must have tasted like our real life, vanilla-infused campfire marshmallow fluff, right? Craving marshmallows now? Make use of this sweet goodness (both whole marshmallows and marshmallow fluff) with recipes like these.

The Eat Me Cookies from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland looked absolutely divine, like something we could stuff our faces with at 2 am.

Its real life equivalent is basically any cookie from Insomnia Cookies. It doesn’t even need “Eat Me” explicitly written all over it because college students will do so without needing to be convinced. Students are even skipping class to grab this cookie fix.

6. Any gigantic food from “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”

The newest “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball” movie series, inspired by the children’s picture book, has featured gigantic versions of food, like this pancake large enough to cover buildings.

In a movie filled with delicious treats and hearty dishes, this particular moment when Lumiére from “Beauty and the Beast” tells Belle to “try the grey stuff” because “it’s delicious” stands out to pique the interest of viewers. What exactly is that delicious grey stuff?

That delicious grey stuff must have been black sesame soft-serve ice cream. There is no other explanation. Popularized in Asian countries, this sweet treat pairs well when swirled with matcha green tea.

Remember those trippy, colorful patties from Spongebob? What’s the deal with those? Are they a disgusting disgrace to the name of the Krabby Patty?
