“If you’re on death row, request Olive Garden’s ‘Never Ending Pasta Bowl’ as a last meal”

A joke is that an inmate on death row should order a last meal from the Olive Garden restaurant. “If you were on death row, what would your last meal be? — Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl!” was posted on Twitter on September 26, 2010. “If I was on death row my last meal would be Olive Garden’s endless salad & breadsticks.Can’t kill me till Im done eating (would eat forever)” was posted on Twitter on December 9, 2010.
   
“People on death row should choose the endless breadsticks from olive garden as their last meal” was posted on Reddit—Shower Thoughts on October 16, 2014.
 
     
Wikipedia: Olive Garden
Olive Garden is an American casual dining restaurant chain specializing in Italian-American cuisine. It is a subsidiary of Darden Restaurants, Inc., which is headquartered in unincorporated Orange County, Florida, in Orlando. As of January 11, 2016, Olive Garden operates 844 locations globally and accounts for $3.8 billion of the $6.9 billion revenue of parent Darden.
(...)
In the fall of 2013, Olive Garden started a promotion for the “Never Ending Pasta Bowl”, where customers can eat all the pasta they want for $9.99. During the event, the restaurant served over 13 million bowls of pasta. In 2014, the restaurant continued the promotion but added the “Never Ending Pasta Pass”, where customers can eat all the pasta they wanted during a seven-week period for $99. This promotion was limited to the first 1000 people to purchase the pass online.

Perhaps the best option for your last meal on Death Row would also be the only reason to ever order Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta.

Death Row Inmate Requests Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl For Last Meal
POSTED ON APRIL 28, 2016 BY BOB THE EMPIRE NEWS POTATO
PUTNAM, Florida –
The Florida Department of Corrections offers death row inmates the option of requesting a final meal on the day of the scheduled execution.  Guidelines specify that food items must be purchased locally, and the cost cannot exceed $40.
 
Del Berkley, convicted of homicide and armed robbery in 2008, asked prison officials for something they had never seen before.  He wrote down “Unlimited Pasta Bowl” as his last meal, the first request of its kind.  “I love me some Olive Garden,” Berkley said. The meal only costs $29.99 at the local restaurant.
