Cool "Buried In Time" Fun Fact

[SpongeyKid]

I noticed this while watching "Buried In Time" today. SpongeBob goes to refill the tarter sauce bottle, but the tarter sauce expired in 1960. Then, SpongeBob says it's 50 years old, declaring that they're in 2010 at the moment. And the episode aired in 2010.


Just thought that was pretty cool and something I never noticed until now.

So Spongebob takes place...in real time...?

 

[AnimationCreated]

That means it takes less than a year to make episodes :P

 

[Master WhoBruh]

Interesting.

 

[Amphitrite]

I guess this is one of the few times a SpongeBob episode made a reference to its airdate.

 

[The Guy With the Computer]

I never noticed that. That's pretty cool.

 

[Supmandude]

I noticed that.

 

[BobCarotte]

I already noticed it.

 

[Vuvuzela Smasher]

And the date on it is May 1st, the day the show came out.

If Spongebob is in real time.......my God, he must be in his 40's by now then!

 

[Fred Mercury]

I already noticed that, on SB wiki

 

[Big Meaty Claws]

That's pretty awesome. Good catch.

 

[CakeCup]

I noticed it as well, that is pretty cool.

 

[Flabby Patty]

Doesn't really seem cool to me, but oh well.

 

[The Drifter]

If Spongebob is in real time.......my God, he must be in his 40's by now then!

There's some source that says SpongeBob was born in July 14, 1986. That means he's around 29 year old now.

Even if this episode is in real time, it's only proven for this one instance. But it is a good catch none-the-less. It kinda reminds me of when Hawaiian Train played during To SquarePants or Not To SquarePants due to it recalling the 10th anniversary since BubbleStand aired.

Yeah! I found that on the SpongeBob Wiki!
