Piggybacking on the success of its “Never Ending Pasta Bowl” promotion, Olive Garden will be offering a “Pasta Pass” that allows the lucky few who get them unlimited amounts of — well — pasta for a whole 52 weeks.
CBS Money Watch reported the passes will be made available to only 1,000 customers for $300. Technically, if one were to maximize the pasta potential by going to Olive Garden every day for a year, it comes out to 82 cents per day. That’ll barely make a dente in anyone’s budget.
The Orlando-based company decided to offer the yearly pass after customers “made it clear” an unlimited eight-week pass offered last year just didn’t cut it, CBS reported. Olive Garden will also be selling 23,000 eight-week passes for $100, which can be used from Sept. 24 through Nov. 18.
People interested can try to buy either the yearly or eight-week passes starting Thursday at 2 p.m. Eastern Time (11 a.m. PST) at www.PastaPass.com. However, they’ll have to be quick with the clicks: the 22,000 eight-week passes made available last year sold out in one second.
