It’s been 25 years since Spongebob Squarepants hit the airwaves and changed children’s programming forever. Today, Wendy’s begins selling a Krabby Patty collaboration that should hopefully alter our tastebuds forever. The meal includes a “Krabby Patty Kollab” cheeseburger, a “Pineapple Under the Sea” Frosty and french fries. The special cheeseburger is served with an additional slice of cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and a “top-secret” Krabby Kollab sauce on a toasted bun.
Starting on October 10, McDonald’s will begin selling their signature sandwich with chicken replacing beef. The Chicken Big Mac has been a staple in international McDonald’s for some time now, but it has never been made available in the US until now.

Frank Fritz of American Pickers passed away earlier this week. The news was announced by his longtime TV partner, Mike Wolfe, on Wolfe’s Facebook page. In a statement, Wolfe wrote,
“It’s with a broken heart that I share with all of you that Frank passed away last night.
I’ve know Frank for more then half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny. The same off camera as he was on, Frank had a way of reaching the hearts of so many by just being himself.
Who would have ever dreamed we would share the cockpit of a white cargo van in front of millions of people interested in our adventures.
Before the show we would take off together to places we never knew existed with no destination in mind and just the shared passion to discover something interesting and historic.
We’ve been on countless trips and shared so many miles and I feel blessed that I was there by his side when he took one last journey home. I love you buddy and will miss you so much I know your in a better place”

During Bulls media day, Ball said, “I think I’ll be ready for the first game, for sure.” Bulls training camp, which starts Oct. 1, will give the team a better idea of how much the guard will play.
Lonzo Ball when asked if he'll be in uniform on Opening Night.
“Yeah, that’s the goal. Can’t tell the future but that’s the plan I’m on and I think I’ll be ready for the first game." pic.twitter.com/IBCnU2I2Ae
