    I know it is obviously not the point but:

    the olive garden breadsticks thing has to be astroturfing, right? Because that shit is mid as hell. It is barely better than school cafeteria breadsticks. At least red lobster (?) cheddar bay biscuits have flavor.

      They used to be the superior form of bread stick.

      Olive Garden’s quality (like most corporate chains) has nose dived in the last 15 years.

      Shittier food = more profit!!

        Meh. Even back in the 90s and 00s they were trash. My grandmother loved olive garden for some reason or another (I assume horrifically racist) and even as a kid I remember “… this is the exact same breadstick I had at lunch on tuesday?”

        Don’t get me wrong. Bread is awesome and worth all the horrors of carbs. But olive garden has always had mediocre breadsticks (I want to say there were periods where they had actual bread that was decent though?).

        Mm mmm

        Loved me some bland rolls with unsalted watered down mashed potato and chicken nugget day! Hell yeah!

        The only way to survive those meals was some ketchup and mixing literally all of into a mush lol

        We would get them on spaghetti and meat sauce days. And we loved it because the spaghetti was so nauseating due to being consistently overcooked and the sauce having almost no seasoning.

        Okay, I think I just answered my own question as to why people love the olive garden breadsticks.
