People can't stop making jokes about Republicans' obsession with Olive Garden

In case you missed it, Olive Garden sold 10,000 passes that gave customers 13 weeks of unlimited pasta for just $100.

Someone on X reached out to Olive Garden and asked if they could use the pasta pass for their entire family.

Olive Garden responded, "No," obviously. They said that the Pasta Pass holder would have to show valid photo ID to order the pasta.

Republicans LOVED it.

Senators preached: "American elections should not be less secure than Olive Garden’s endless pasta. Pass the SAVE America Act."

Stephen Miller talked about fettuccine: "We've reached a point in society where access to fettuccine at Olive Garden is vastly more secure than deciding who is Commander-in-Chief of the country."

It has become their entire identity.

But not so fast, folks!!!! The New York Times wrote that it was "misleading."

First of all, Olive Garden only needs to see a standard photo ID (like a driver’s license) to confirm you’re the person on the pass. The SAVE America Act would require people to show documentary proof of citizenship, think: birth certificate or passport, just to register to vote.

Secondly, three dozen states already require identification to vote in person, and the remaining states verify people's identity using other methods like signature affidavits.

And third, we're talking about PASTA... not Americans' fundamental right to vote!

I'm starting to see some VERY funny reactions to the whole thing...

We have:

"Bringing my passport with me to get shrimp scampi at the Olive Garden."

"Has anyone checked the Olive Gardens to see if Mitch McConnell is just camped out there eating unlimited pasta?"

"One time Olive Garden carded me for the unlimited pasta bowl."

"They’re commiting Olive Garden Unlimited Pasta ID fraud and you’re laughing??"

"Um, why would Olive Garden ask me for ID? I’m family."

"The worst feeling is when you take your wife to Olive Garden and she forgets her birth certificate and you have to eat your dinner alone in front of her. Staff advised me sharing is grounds for banishment too."

"One time, I went to Olive Garden and I could only get salad because I forgot my ID at home.Thanks, Obama 😔"

"I just tried eating lunch at Olive Garden but I forgot my ID so the police came and beat me with unlimited breadsticks."

"I guess I must’ve missed class the day we discussed the constitutional right to the Olive Garden Never Ending Pasta Bowl."

"I'm craving some Olive Garden salad and breadsticks but my passport is expired. WDID?!"

And lastly, "I feel sorry for the service staff at Olive Garden who will have to fake laugh every time a dad shows them an ID now before ordering."
