Answer: Leftover Krabby Patties
The night before the big dance, Pearl wonders why she can't get rid of her unsightly facial blemish (the barnacle). Mr. Krabs refuses to spend money (I never would have guessed! That's so unlike his character!) to help Pearl get rid of her blemishes, so he orders SpongeBob to help her. No matter what SpongeBob tries, nothing can get rid of the barnacle, and it multiplies. Her face winds up looking like a barnacle pizza. At the climax, everyone learns that Mr. Krabs is manufacturing his own soap to save money out of leftover Krabby Patties. Pearl has been washing her face with grease. Unlike most shows with similar problems, a cure for Pearl's barnacle is never found. Alternatively, SpongeBob sticks Mr. Krabs' treasured gems inside the barnacles, concealing them and making her look ravishing for the dance, much to Mr. Krabs' chagrin.
In real life, it is not uncommon for barnacles to ably attach themselves to whales of all kinds as well as ship hulls.

Answer: nickel
The next new episode to air during the marathon was "Goo Goo Gas". What did old SpongeBob mean when he said, "I remember when a quarter used to cost a nickel."? Even for a regular old guy, that wouldn't make sense. Did he mean, in his aged state, he remembered when a present day nickel was worth a quarter? Did the gas mess with his brain in addition to making him a senior citizen? The possibilities, while not endless, are many. Perhaps its just a funny quote that should not be overly analyzed. After all, in Bikini Bottom, normal things don't happen very often. While presumably most fans saw "Goo Goo Gas" for the first time during the ever anticipated marathon, many more (myself included) saw it for the first time on either Nick.com (this was a rare episode they showed on their website in its entirety prior to premiering on TV) or on the "WhoBob WhatPants" DVD. This episode will go down in history as the first to show Squidward as a baby. Every other main character transformed into a baby was already shown as a baby in a flashback during the events of at least one previous episode.
