Professor Punsley's research on this pressing issue has yielded some fascinating results:
It turns out, SpongeBob's bright hue is not just a coincidence. According to our sources, he was once forced to wear a neon yellow jumpsuit in a particularly grueling Krabby Patty factory experiment gone wrong.
As he stood amidst the burning grease and screaming Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob's DNA underwent a permanent transformation, forever locking him into his iconic yellow.
But that's not all! Our team has also discovered a connection between SpongeBob's color and his affinity for jellyfishing. It seems the yellow hue acts as a natural attractant for jellyfish, making him the ultimate fishing buddy.
