Last month, a customer took to TikTok to share that he received a breadstick with text on it while eating at a restaurant. The person shared a photo of the breadstick with what appeared to be a partial serial number on it.

TRENDING STORIES:

The customer didn’t notice at first because he had already taken a bite of the stick and dipped it in sauce in preparation for another bite.

The post has been viewed over 4 million times since it was uploaded.

The post sparked nearly 3,000 comments from TikTok users, some looking for possible explanations. A user claiming to be an Olive Garden employee pointed out that the breadsticks came from frozen bags and the label from the bag must have gotten onto one of them.

“It comes from the plastic bag they come in and if they sit in the freezer for a while this can happen,” the user wrote.

The post caught the attention of Olive Garden, which expressed concerns about the post.

“We are concerned about this,” the restaurant chain wrote, also asking the customer to reach out via email with their name and the location they were at.

The TikTok user shared an update a few days later that Olive Garden had given him a $100 gift card in response to the incident.

The chain has yet to confirm what exactly happened. News Center 7 has reached out to Olive Garden for more information.
