Transcript

Cool shit I'd do for Olive Garden. I would do a whole new merch collection because this merch needs some seasoning. Starting with this jersey that says the real OG on the bad, these socks that look like breadsticks, this hoodie that says breadstick winner, this t shirt that has an olive garden on the back, the rigatoni vodka shorts, A breadstick pillow that you can tie into a garlic knot. This sweater that says when you're tier, yes familia. The Italian leather breadstick holster. Your mom's kitchen sign that says I love unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks. This hat that says the real OG. Breadstick sweatpants. This shirt that says wanna see my breadstick. This spaghetti crewneck. And this shirt that has a Statue Of Liberty made out of better. That says I got my salad toss at the Times Square Olive Garden. The full Olive Garden collection. Olive Garden. We gotta put these on the menu.
