The Abrasive Side
Season 7, Episode 20a Airdate: November 27, 2010

Sandy rolls up her sleeves to remove Spongebob's abrasive side, revealing muscular, manly, tough-looking arms as a gag. Fact: This is the only Sandy muscle moment where she doesn't have veins. It's also an animation error, as she already has fur on her arms.

Whelk Attack
Season 7, Episode 22b Airdate: October 2, 2010

SpongeBob and Patrick: Sandy! Please let us in! [the whelks start toward them and bite and they scream] Let us in!

Sandy: [looks through her door] SpongeBob? Patrick?

SpongeBob and Patrick: Please! Please, let us in!

Sandy: How can I be sure you're not whelks in disguise?

SpongeBob: We're not whelks! We're not whelks!

Sandy: [to SpongeBob] What's your mom's maiden name?

SpongeBob: Eeh, BubbleBottom!

Sandy: Patrick, what's your first name?

Patrick: Uh, is this a trick question?

Sandy: [sighs] You're in. [lets them in and activates a lever that covers her treedome in metal] I think I have the answer! Now, do ya want the regular answer or the ACTION PACKED answer?!

SpongeBob: Uh, action-packed, please?

Sandy: Yes! [jumps in the air] I need a sample of their slime! If I can analyze it, [turn buff and flex her muscle, doing the most muscular pose] I might be deduced the cause of their behavior! And maybe we can stop them!

While telling SpongeBob and Patrick the "action-packed answer"(really just the regular answer with random karate moves dispersed in), she briefly grows muscles and flexes, visible sweating as she does so, with veins on her arms.

Behind the scenes
In February and March 2017, Supervising Director Adam Paloian drew pictures of Sandy and Mr. Krabs wrestling on Twitter for fun. Krabs looked normal but Sandy was drawn hulked out.
