Olive Garden will sell 21,000 of the $100 Pasta Passes Thursday, September 15th from 2-3 ET on its website and an additional 21 on eBay with proceeds going to Feeding America.  Those 21,000 passes are 10 times more than last year.  Each $100 pass allows the pass holder to eat as much of the chain’s pasta as they like for seven weeks; guests get complimentary Coca-Cola products. The deal was a success last fall, with all 2,000 passes selling out in a second.  and boy did we all try…

The passes allow people to mix and match from a selection of sauces and pastas, including chicken alfredo this year. They also include unlimited Coca-Cola products; salads, soup and breadsticks apparently didn’t make the cut this year. The passes are good from Oct. 3 through Nov. 20 at the chain’s more than 800 U.S. locations.  In-restaurant redemptions are unlimited but they’ve eliminated to-go redemptions.
