The 5th annual Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Pass will go on sale this week.
You pay $100 and get unlimited pasta, salad, and breadsticks for nine weeks. This year, they’re raising the stakes.
On Thursday at 2pm Eastern, Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Passes go on sale at PastaPass.com. There will be 24,000 of them available for $100. They’re also giving the first 50 people who buy one the option to upgrade for another $400 to a lifetime pasta pass. For $500 total, you can use it to eat at Olive Garden for the rest of your life and according to the terms and conditions, it, “expires upon death.”
So, if you live another 60 years and use the Pasta Pass every day, that means your dinner would cost about two cents a day. Not including tip.
But if you want one of the passes, you’ll have to be fast, the Pasta Passes usually sell out in a matter of seconds, and that’s without this special bonus offer for the first buyers.
A local assembly meeting in Kenya was temporarily suspended due to a member passing gas.
A heated debate about the markets was disrupted by a foul smell and finger-pointing last week.
“Honourable Speaker, one of us has polluted the air and I know who it is,” one of the speakers said, even asking for air freshners to be brought in.
But the member he accused of farting replied, “I am not the one. I cannot do such a thing in front of my colleagues.”
The assembly was asked to step outside until the smell discipated.
