Applebee’s is offering a new date night deal that we’re pretty sure no one asked for.
The chain restaurant is launching a “Date Night Pass” for $200 that includes up to $30 in food per week for an entire year. Of course, there’s a catch, which is that you have to eat at Applebee’s.
The pass, which has a value of up to $1,500, can be used at Applebee’s locations nationwide, except for 16 stores. There’s only a limited number available, which Applebee’s suspects will go quickly — though we can’t figure out why they would think that. (Are there really that many people jumping at the chance to eat Applebee’s 52 times a year?)
But, it could have something to do with the increasingly expensive dating scene. A 2023 survey of 2,000 Americans found that the average person spent over $3,000 on dates in the past year. In fact, respondents shared that the average good date costs $196 these days, so it looks like Applebee’s is hoping will spend that good date money on them instead.
If you and your significant other can survive 52 Applebee’s meals together, there’s nothing you can’t accomplish together.
