Guess where we’re going to dinner tonight? Yep… Olive Garden! Finally, one of those awful Olive Garden commercials really hit home with us. We were watching Game 4 of the World Series and a new Olive Garden commercial came on during one of the last commercial breaks.
The commercial showed a few families sitting at the table in the restaurant and a lady at the table was doing the voice-over. She starts the commercials by saying, “We started a tradition where we get together for dinner with friends.”
When we heard that, we all stopped what we were doing immediately and looked at each other. What a great freakin’ idea! We were blown away. Dinner? With friends? What the hell! Why had we not thought of this before?
So we decided to start a similar tradition. We like to eat. And we like to hang out with friends. We just can’t believe we had never thought of combining the two. What a concept!
We hope the brains behind that Olive Garden commercial get a raise. We can say with certainty that those ad writers are directly responsible for at least an extra $60 being spent at an Olive Garden tonight.
And now we would like to officially ask The Masters to step aside, there is a new tradition that’s unlike any other!
