I sent texts to my family and friends about this offer. All of them expressed a great deal of, um, disgust.

Pasta can be pretty good but it is also cheap.

I’d be happy if somebody paid me $50 not to eat at Olive Garden. Shouldn’t be too hard, I’m doing it for nothing now.

I know a whole family that could put tears in their eyes and send them into bankruptcy in no more than 4 weeks.

I tried to get this offer. Before 3pm ET, it wouldn’t allow me to go the page to purchase this offer.

Beginning at 3pm, I was presented with a partial page for the offer. It never completed displaying the offer for me to make the purchase.

Before too long (15 minutes?) a nicely plotting page told me the offer had been sold out.

Unhappiness.

My elder son is on the cross country team and they have big pasta parties the night before their meets. Maybe a good time to go.

Olive Garden says “PLEEEEEEEEEASE come into our buildings”. Not sure where this one rates on Bourdain’s “signs your restaurant is circling the drain” list, probably pretty close to the end.

Sold out in one day.

Hope this doesn't turn out like Red lobster when they sold unlimited crabs. The person who came up with that idea got fired.

I’d love to go. But my wife says we can’t go to the local Olive Garden out of embarrassment. I left a message the last time I was there that said, “olives grow in groves, not gardens. Hope this helps.”

They should pay you to eat their fake Italian food.

Am I the only hick around here who actually likes to eat at Olive Garden. My family and I consider it a step up from Texas Roadhouse. It’s cultural too.
