The Italian restaurant chain’s “Never Ending Pasta Pass,” the all-you-can-eat-for-seven-weeks for $99 deal that sold out within 45 minutes of its Monday debut. (And that resulted in as many as 500,000 visitors to the chain’s website.)

Hollow man, you are incorrect in your assumption that Mexicans frequent Olive Garden. They frequent Chinese buffets. I know, I live in AZ.

When I saw the headline about this a few days ago I was hoping this was Clammy’s idea and she’d finally hit a home run!

Haven’t been to Olive Garden in 10 years at least and the last time was because a friend was buying me lunch. I can’t even think of anything OG could do to entice me into their restaurant including giving it away for free.

I don’t think obesity rates will be that bad in 2030. We’ve got hard times a comin’ and many of these restaurants seem to be failing. With food inflation people will have a hard time eating at home let alone eating out. I’m actually curious to see how all these companies that make the “prepared food” will fare as the Great Regression continues.

When I heard about this “pass” my first thought was, “yuck.”
There food is sooooo salty, without much other flavor, their bar overpriced, their breadsticks greasy – and not the real butter kind of grease.
I knew this would be a hit as millions of workers decided to eat lunch for next to nothing for a few weeks.
My guess is that this is going to bump 3q sales and then hit 4q costs, as the reality of the type of diners buying this comes into play.
Well, on a good note, a whole bunch of people will be utilizing their free/reduced price insurance (let us hope they all have the Gold plans with no deductibles) soon.
AWD would have been all over this thread.
