Tennessee Man Decides To Test The Limits Of Olive Garden’s All-You-Can-Eat. But The Server Has No Idea What He’s Hiding In His Bag: ‘Ruin It For Everybody Else’

Olive Garden has built a loyal following for offering endless options for popular items on the menu. Customers will push their stomachs past capacity to see how many breadsticks and pasta they can consume. One man decided to test the limits of the never-ending pasta bowl promotion.

In a TikTok with over 2.4 million views, Pop (@popthechain) reveals how he was stashing each plate of pasta inside Tupperware containers.

“POV: Seeing if Olive Garden’s unlimited pasta is really unlimited,” the onscreen text reads.

How Did He Finesse Unlimited Olive Garden Pasta?

Pop asks the server whether the all-you-can-eat pasta is really true. The server assures them it is, and Pop and his buddy go with the unlimited pasta. However, they don’t plan on eating every plate. As soon as the first plate is delivered, Pop pulls out a to-go storage container and dumps the pasta inside it. After dishing out the pasta, he hides the container underneath the table.

This maneuver is done every time the server steps away from the table. Refills keep coming, and the three storage containers get filled up with pasta. Each time, the servers ask if the group wants cheese, but Pop declines.

“I have gastritis,” he explains.

However, one server did catch on to the group.

“I just had to come see if y’all was actually eating it,” she shares.

Pop tells the server that they are great eaters but continues to put the pasta in the storage container.

Eventually, the plates tower high above, and the stack is heavy to move. After a few more dishes, the TikToker decides to leave. Walking out with three massive containers of spaghetti, the group was able to get away.

Pop visited the local fire department and donated the pasta to the firefighters.

How Many Dishes Of Pasta Did He Get?

In a conversation with BroBible, Pop reveals that the group ended up getting over 16 plates of pasta.

“We ended up getting over 16 for sure. I don’t know the exact amount, but I do know it was over 16,” Pop begins.

This isn’t the first time they tested the limits of unlimited food items at Olive Garden.

“Maybe 2 weeks ago we went and tested if their unlimited breadsticks was really unlimited,” he said. “We ended up getting 101 breadsticks. We were really just wanting to test restaurants’ limits and see if they really stood by what they meant.”

He continued, “We love doing harmless pranks and this is one of our best ones.”

Pop reveals that the table had four different servers and was there for over two hours.

“We were there for over 2 hours collecting pasta and went through 4 servers. Lol. We gave the worker a great tip. We’re dropping the full video on YouTube soon as well for this,” he concludes.

Is The Pasta Really Unlimited At Olive Garden?

With any marketing, people may think that there is a catch when the deal is too good to be true. So when you hear about unlimited pasta, breadsticks, soup, or salad, many question if it is actually limitless.

However, Olive Garden does deliver on its promise.

According to Olive Garden, customers can get “never-ending pasta” starting at $14.99. This includes different variations and combinations of “never-ending pasta,” so multiple different dishes can be tried.

On top of that, the never-ending first course is also included. This means the endless breadsticks, salad, or soup are unlimited as well.

With any of these endless options, this promo only applies to dine-in customers.

“Never-ending soup or salad and breadsticks available in-restaurant only with the purchase of an adult entrée,” per Olive Garden.

‘Flying Too Close To The Sun Will Ruin It For Everybody Else’

Viewers in the comments section believe Pop and his friend took advantage of the Olive Garden special.

“Flying too close to the sun will ruin it for everybody else,” one TikTok commenter wrote.

“Awful behavior,” another added.

“Ain’t no way they didn’t say anything,” a third chimed in.

“And that’s how people f— it up for everyone else,” one shared.

“The firefighter immediately threw it all away after,” one commented.

“Giving that to the homeless would’ve been such a blessing to them,” one wrote.

One server claimed they once saw a customer eat nine refills on his own.

“I was a server at Olive Garden and someone ate 9 refills in one sitting! Like how?” one revealed.
