They're like $12 for a pack of 18 huge ones at Costco

4 USD for 9 small ones in Denmark.

450g=16 oz or whatever you use.

Food in the kitchen is usually measured in pounds for meat and vegetables (similar to the UK) and grams for most other dry goods. So the recipe would call for 2 pounds of beef but 5 grams of salt. The Costco hot dogs are guaranteed to weigh at least ¼ pound.

The most confusing thing is soda, because it is sold in containers of either 350 mL, 16 oz, or 2 L.

Edit: Photograph of Costco hot dog. They are also sold at the food court for $1.50 each, and it comes with unlimited soda from the Coca-Cola machine in the background. This is probably why Americans are so fat.
