In 2009, the Seattle Times asked Costco co-founder (and then-CEO) Jim Sinegal, "If [the price of the hot dog] ever goes up, what will it mean?" Sinegal replied, "That I'm dead."

"Welcome to Costco. I love you."
Those are some fingers if I ever saw some.
Ai don't know how hands work yet
So sad they discontinued the chicken wings. It was sooo good.
Turkey pesto sandwiches and combo pizzas - this must be a pre-pandemic photo.
And Italian sausages, too.
My wife whenever we go to Costco
Lol
I go to Costco, I get hot dog. This is the way.
I miss those turkey pesto sandwiches...
I think I'm too Finnish to understand this joke 😅 Can somebody explain it to me please?
Costco is a wholesale store commonly found in US cities. They sell really cheap food and are famous for their cheap as dirt hot dogs that cost $1.50.
Basically Biltema Körv
"All beef hot dog?" Has it always been that way? I thought hot dogs were a pig product.
The ones from Costco have always been beef.
Fuck I love Costco.
I don't always want to eat a hot dog, but I'm constantly reminded that all good things must come to an end. When costco's CEO's gone, so will the $1.50 hot dogs. So for now, I buy one anyway because in another 5-10 years, we might not have it anymore.
The casings can be pig intestine. The meat itself is not pig.
Most are either beef or chicken afaik, but it depends on the particular brand
Normal hot dogs are always beef. The "100% beef" is just marketing bullshit since technically a hot dog can be any meat.
You know I got that dog in me
Ah yes, Vurt by Jeff Noon
LOL couldn't even bother to photoshop the shadows off of them that were cast by the bright sun in the original photo from their outdoor adventure in a picturesque landscape.
I mean we already know it's fake, they did it for the funny idea of the image. Why do many photoshop when few photoshop do trick?
It is funny
Wait, does your Costco really have the Al Pastor Salad? I miss that salad!
Best 200 (225?) Icelandic Kr I spent on the island.
I like Sam's Clubs better
Beef hotdogs just taste wrong. Go for their pizza slices instead.
Also this photo is fake because it doesn't have a 30 minute queue snaking around the eating area.
Huh? Beef hotdogs taste wrong? The fuck you talkin about? Costco is famous for their cheap ass beef hotdogs.
Sausages should be pork. Burgers should be beef.
This is a hill I'm happy to die on.
Traditional hot dogs have NEVER been pork. Idk what planet you live on lol.
No, hotdogs have traditionally been beef. And they taste great.
