all-you-can-eat
Gorge without surcharge
All-you-can-eat describes a pricing arrangement where a single fee covers unlimited consumption, typically at restaurants: The all-you-can-eat buffet was packed on Sunday mornings.
The term extends to any unlimited-access model: an all-you-can-eat data plan.
The appeal is obvious; so is the business calculation that most people won't actually eat that much.
