    Unlimited shrimp is a misnomer as matter is finite. Even if all matter were converted to shrimp, it still wouldn’t be truly unlimited.

    Yay for needless pedantry.

      The infinitely dense Red Lobster will always allow you to visit, but its event horizon won’t let you leave

      If we are being pedantic, the article mentions it promotion as all you can eat rather then unlimited, except in the title and one place in the article. So the big question is what was it marketted as and is it just the author using the terms as synonyms?

      There is a big difference between these if you are being pedantic and not really fair to blame the restaurant for the article authors choose of words.

      But being realistic I would think it is fair to say unlimited and all you can eat are basically synonyms when it comes to restaurant promotions. And fair limitations should apply - like the restaurant running out of stock (assuming they a reasonable amount to begin with).
