When you're confident that your plate of spaghetti is more secure than your country's elections, you know you're in trouble.
Social media users, especially those of the conservative kind, are abuzz Friday after the Olive Garden social media team accidentally made the case for why Congress should pass the SAVE America Act when they posted a tweet about its Never-Ending Pasta Pass.
Apparently, Thursday was a big day for Americans, not only because President Trump unsealed a treasure trove of documents related to election integrity, but also because the Pasta Pass went on sale. And Olive Garden was busy promoting the sale, reminding customers that it began promptly at 2 PM ET.
Customers were instructed to log onto PastaPass.com to claim one of the 10,000 passes on sale. Each pass cost $100 and allowed the holder to get unlimited dine-in access to Olive Garden’s Never-Ending Pasta Bowl for 13 weeks, including unlimited pasta-and-sauce combinations, the ability to add and switch protein toppings, a choice of never-ending soup or salad, and unlimited breadsticks.
One interested party, Superpowermario, wanted more specifics before purchasing. For instance, if they were to buy one pass, could they use it to feed their entire family?
The answer was a very firm "No" from Olive Garden. The pass, it turns out, can only be used by the passholder, who must present the pass along with valid photo ID in order to access their plates of pasta.
The reactions on social media were as amazing as you'd expect them to be.
Babylon Bee, as usual, was way ahead on another Olive Garden controversy.
