We all grew up listening to the iconic theme song before catching our favorite episodes of Spongebob, Rugrats and Doug. However, have you ever stopped and thought about how many “nicks” are actually said in the jingle? Odds are probably not, but the internet is now determined to figure it out.
The debate first sparked on social media this week and led to people listening to the classic jingle one too many times. For the most part, the internet can’t agree on if the theme song has 7, 8 or 9 “nicks” in it.
