Good morning! This morning I start off 2022 by minting a breadstick! Never forget to have fun in the crypto space! That is why I got into it in the first place. I came across a spoof account that allows anyone to buy an "Olive Garden" branch franchise NFT. You can even mint the unlimited breadsticks that come with soup and salad. Almost every American has an Olive Garden in their suburb and grew up to associate that with Italian food. It is no wonder that these mock franchises are now selling for up to 10 ETH! However, the real parent company of Olive Garden (Darden Restaurants) is firing back with a cease and desist letter to Open Seas Legal team. Non-Fungible Olive Garden has sent a letter back to appeal to Darden Restaurants to "...discuss this like family over a plate of Ziti Al Forno..." at an Olive Garden of their choosing. Somehow, I don't think the old folks at Darden are going to really understand the concept of the NFT images being unable to take down from the blockchain! Good luck to the lawyer having to explain that!
