Everyone’s favorite bubbly beverage for the fiber-loving crowd is making a splash in Bikini Bottom. As Delish reports, OLIPOP just launched Pineapple Paradise, a limited-edition flavor inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants and his fruit-shaped home—and it’s already got fans foaming at the lid.
The collab has been aptly timed with the upcoming (due in theaters December 19) release of the movie, SpongeBob SquarePants: Search for SquarePants, but this soda isn’t just riding on SpongeBob’s underwater star power. It’s a stomach-friendly prebiotic drink that delivers sweet pineapple and citrusy mandarin in every sip. Each can has 4 grams of sugar, 35 calories, and 6 grams of fiber, meaning yes, it’s healthier than anything Squidward drinks (and almost definitely tastier than Diet Dr. Kelp).
Fans are fully on board and ready to dive headfirst into this limited edition collab. One OLIPOP enthusiast on Instagram said, “I bought like 3 boxes already! Loving it!” while another wrote, “Okay, take my card. Just YESSS!” And naturally, there was an “Aye aye captain!” reference and the classic “bring ’em arounddddd townnnnn” callout.
If you want more than just a shelf full of limited-edition cans (although, fair), OLIPOP’s got two ways to play. First, an in-game collab with SpongeBob Tower Defense on Roblox runs August 8–17, where players can unlock exclusive in-game perks and even earn a real-life 4-pack. Then starting September 2, collectors can track down all five themed cans IRL and redeem points for merch like stickers, shirts, and yes, even a mini fridge. Fingers crossed it comes in sponge yellow.
Each of the five collectible cans features a different SpongeBob expression. And while they’re all iconic, justice for Patrick Star, whose face arguably deserved a limited-edition can of his own.
So whether you’re in it for the fiber, the fandom, or the fridge, one thing’s clear: This soda is anything but square.
