Fans of mediocre pasta and breadsticks, rejoice: You can now get seven weeks' worth of your carb fix for just $100.
The Italian-style chain is offering a $100 "Never Ending Pasta Pass" that gives customers seven weeks of unlimited pasta, breadsticks, salad, and Coca-Cola drinks. If that sounds like a good deal, you'll have to act fast: The company is only offering 1,000 passes, and they'll be available for sale on Olive Garden's website at 3:00 p.m.
"What we're trying to do is get some attention," Jay Spenchian, Olive Garden's executive vice president of marketing, told USA Today. "It's sure to provoke a reaction."
