Breaking: Olive Garden's "Never Ending Pasta Bowl" Returns, Because Apparently, We Still Need More Breadsticks

Oh, joy! Olive Garden just announced that their "most popular" (read: most calorific) promotion is back. Starting August 26, you can stuff your face with endless pasta, "unlimited amounts" of breadsticks, and soup or salad until November 17. Because who doesn't love a good carb coma?

For a measly $13.99, you too can participate in this gastronomic marathon at any Olive Garden location nationwide. And if you're feeling extra fancy, you can add never-ending toppings for just $4.99. Because why stop at endless pasta when you can have endless meatballs too?

“Never Ending Pasta Bowl is one of our guests' favorite times of year, and we’re excited to welcome them back around our dining tables at the same price as the past two years,” said Jaime Bunker, senior vice president of marketing at Olive Garden. Because nothing says "great value" like all-you-can-eat pasta and breadsticks, am I right?
