I'm not sure what the usage of の in this sentence is?

でかい業務用冷蔵庫を開けりゃ何でもある。 何でも食い放題の飲み放題。

と makes sense to me as in「何でも食い放題と飲み放題」but why is の used here instead?

  • I found it while playing a game. I don't think it could be a typo. – tman22 Aug 13 '22 at 02:45
  • Could you give more context, and if possible, a screenshot? I just want to rule out the possibility of a misidentification, because 食べ放題の飲み放題 really makes no sense to me. – dvx2718 Aug 13 '22 at 03:53
  • Actually, I have a theory: since 飲み放題 starts with 飲{の}, could it be when the developer was typing he just accidentally typed の twice? – dvx2718 Aug 13 '22 at 03:54
  • These seem related: [Meaning of の in the の、の と pattern (どうのこうの)](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/68618/43676), [What does ビクビクのヌルヌルで mean?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/38266/43676). – aguijonazo Aug 13 '22 at 04:19
  • Are they related? 食い放題 and 飲み放題 are not mimetic words and its not in the「～の～の」form? – tman22 Aug 13 '22 at 05:47
  • @aguijonazo is right. they're both used to enumerate adjectives. – Marronnier Aug 13 '22 at 06:50

I couldn't find a definition for this in dictionaries, but I think this の is an emphatic listing particle. It's used between two similar words that describe a quality or state of something. It's typically used between two mimetic words (example), but it can be used with other na-/no-adjectives.

  • イベントは最高の最強だった。
  • 最低の最悪な話を聞いた。
  • 服が泥まみれの埃まみれになっている。
  • こちらのパンは焼きたての熱々です。
  • ガチのマジで危なかった。
  • 本気の本気で頑張ります。

の is used to enumerate verbs and adjectives and 食い放題の飲み放題 enumerates two adjectives: 食い放題 and 飲み放題.

（主に用言につけて）列挙する。だの。
