YES, PATRICKMAYONNAISE IS AN INSTRUMENT AS HELLMAN'S STUDY ANSWERS SPONGEBOB QUESTION
Twenty-five years ago, SpongeBob SquarePants' Patrick Star (Bill Fagerbakke) raised an important question that is hotly debated to this very day: Is mayonnaise an instrument?"
"What actually matters when determining whether something is a musical instrument," according to the study, "is whether than object can produce or modify sound in a controlled and intentional way."
Its a question thats been around for years, but no ones really tried to answer it properly," added Smith. "Seeing people actually make music with mayonnaise and turning it into a real track has been wild. It shouldnt work, but somehow it does. Were bringing a new texture to music!"
