CNBC: 21,000 Olive Garden unlimited pasta passes sold out in less than a second
Olive Garden's Never Ending Pasta passes were a big hit for the 21st annual promotion.
If you were hoping to gorge on pasta and get the $100 unlimited pasta pass from Olive Garden, you are too late. According to a recent CNBC article, the Never Ending Pasta passes sold out in less than a second yesterday once they went on sale at 2 p.m. ET.
Last year the 2,000 passes that the brand was selling were claimed in less than a minute. This year for the 21st annual promotion, Olive Garden decided to increase the number of passes by tenfold.
The Never Ending Pasta pass is the ultimate deal for pasta lovers where they can enjoy seven weeks of unlimited pasta, soup or salad, sauces, breadsticks, and Coca-Cola-branded soft drinks.
If you missed the one second when passes were available and you still would like a chance to get in on the deal, you can look out for 21 additional passes to go on sales on eBay. Don’t be fooled though, the price will most likely be higher than the original $100.
Olive Garden plans to donate proceeds from the eBay sales to Feeding America.
