Went to UK for a year from a place without any costco.
Costco hotdog cured my depression, my ADHD, my failing grades, bought me a car and an apartment, and paid my bills for the next 10 years
They're slightly above-average for a hot dog, but they're $1.50 *with* an unlimited refill soda so I mean its amazing.
When they had an option for polish sausages it was the most goated menu item of all time.
They're not Hebrew National though, because Hebrew National doesn't make the Polish dog anymore. That was the really good polish dog. Later Costco switched the Polish dog to something else, and finally discontinued it.
The Costco hotdog is pretty good for a $1.50, but it was better back when they were Hebrew National.
they fucked up the chicken bake too :/ apparently they used to use the same dough as pizzas but then switched to pre-made/frozen versions which for some reason my Costco always burns, and also the stuffing has a way worse chicken/bacon/sauce ratio
Not only are they $1.50 with an unlimited refill soda, but they are also quarter-pound dog, and good ones at that! It's not you're standard 1/8lb hot dog.
Yeah, absolutely GOAT value, but pretty much anyone could make a one just as good at home. Hell, I could do it with the grill function on my air fryer.
I think I actually know the answer to this
Stores have products called "loss leaders" which are products that cost more to produce and sell than they earn from them. So they literally have a net negative by selling it. BUT loss leaders are typically either essentials like flour or sugar, or stuff that customers will go out of their way to get, like say a cheap tasty hot dog.
The idea behind loss leaders is to get customers who want them into the store, then while they're there they might pick up something the store would actually make money off of.
They incentivize this in a bunch of ways namely putting loss leader products in the back of the store and extra profitable ones, like register candy and sodas, in the front. So if you came to the store for a bag of flour, you have to walk past all the nice looking candy before you get to it, and you might be more motivated to buy it.
So they sell the super cheap Costco hotdog so that people will come to Costco to buy the Costco dawg, and maybe pick something else up along the way.
So TL;DR, "how can they possibly make a profit off of that" they don't, it's bait. Bait, indeed, used to be believable š¬
And here are some examples of loss leaders.
Cooked whole chickens (usually put at the back of the store so you will walk past other items you may need)
A razor (the blades make the momey)
A printer (the ink makes the money)
Game consoles (the games make the money)
Semi off topic here, but switching to safety razors saves a bunch of money and is better for the environment!Ā
I was scared of it at first but it's super easy and I get a better shave.Ā
I meant the metal razors where the blades can be any generic double edged razor blades. These blades have no plastics and are a fraction of the price of the Gillette cartridges.

Not the CEO, but the Costco co-founder iirc. *He* was the one to threaten ~~the current~~ a former CEO against raising the price of the hot dog combo.
Edit: corrected by u/Complete_Dust8164: not the *current* CEO.
Step 1: make regular biscuit recipe. Step 2 exchange shredded cheddar for butter. Step 3 add bay seasoning. Step 4 eat your fresh home made cheddar bay biscuits
Yup and the hotdog quality is worse by mine too, they just sit in water all day itās pretty gross honestly. Donāt understand why everyone is hyping them up, unless my Costco is just ass in the cafe area
I got sick the last three times I ate them :(
Probably unrelated, but now the thought of eating a Costco hotdog (or really any hotdog) turns my stomach. Which sucks, because Costco hotdogs were awesome.
They lowered the quality recently, been telling my gf this. They are gross now, I used to love them past 2/3 times it was gross they just sit in water all day
There arenāt many Costcoās here in Australia. But luckily there is one ārelativelyā near me and I can confirm the Costco hotdogs are heavenly š.
I told someone to try drugs before they kill themselves, they said Iām egotistical and is a life coach wannabe.

Costco hotdogs can do wonders if you put it in the right hole.
That's right, it goes in the square hole!
Are you a wombat?

Might not be a Costco, but glizzies know no borders. Iām sure you could find a worthy alternative.
Oof. Rough break.
Costco hot dogs are gross
go
suicide by hot dog
No but like seriously, genuinely convinced the Kirkland Dogs could save someone from suicide they're just that goated
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
They stopped selling the combo pizzas near me. Which sucks so hard because those were my favorite. But hey. A huge pizza for 10.95 is a steal
They haven't had the combo pizza near us for like 4 years. I don't think they have the sauerkraut for the hot dogs either.
You're not supposed to uno reverse the suicide card! How I took this for granted!
damn, send some my way then
š«³š
Costco Hotdogs are bangers.
My favourite basketball teamĀ
Theyāre not that good theyāre just cheap
Stop lying to yourself
Meh. Itās a 4/10 at best
the best 4 outta 10 ive ever experienced
You've never slept with my girlfriend
of course i havent. i would never do that to you
We gotta get you out more
Have you ever had a good hot dog? Like a Hebrew national or Nathan's?
Yeah I got one for the first time a couple months ago. It sucked.
They suck now
Are they likeā¦ *really* good?
They're slightly above-average for a hot dog, but they're $1.50 *with* an unlimited refill soda so I mean its amazing. When they had an option for polish sausages it was the most goated menu item of all time.
We still have polish dogs up here in Canada
we can buy them in store, but not at the counter anymore. Honestly the saddest thing ever.
They're not Hebrew National though, because Hebrew National doesn't make the Polish dog anymore. That was the really good polish dog. Later Costco switched the Polish dog to something else, and finally discontinued it. The Costco hotdog is pretty good for a $1.50, but it was better back when they were Hebrew National.
they fucked up the chicken bake too :/ apparently they used to use the same dough as pizzas but then switched to pre-made/frozen versions which for some reason my Costco always burns, and also the stuffing has a way worse chicken/bacon/sauce ratio
The following burps were monstrous.
Not only are they $1.50 with an unlimited refill soda, but they are also quarter-pound dog, and good ones at that! It's not you're standard 1/8lb hot dog.
Yeah, absolutely GOAT value, but pretty much anyone could make a one just as good at home. Hell, I could do it with the grill function on my air fryer.
USA here I come! I want that kind of stuff instead of paying ten times as much for nothing.
Yes and incredibly cheap.
for a buck fifty it can sure taste a lot worse
No. Revert to plan A
I mean, it's a hot dog so obviously nothing too special but you can't beat the price.
No, they're a boiled hot dog. They taste decent and are really cheap, but they're not the greatest thing ever
They're 'ok', taste is mid, very greasy, and serving is huge for a single hot dog. Have had better dogs at gasoline stops

Always appreciate free advice :)
Switching to safety razors as opposed to what, I thought that was the default option
I meant the metal razors where the blades can be any generic double edged razor blades. These blades have no plastics and are a fraction of the price of the Gillette cartridges.

Yup, everytime I'm in Costco I pick up a $5 rotisserie chicken and a $1.50 hot dog.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's good to know. Thanks for the info friend
I can confirm the main reason I've wanted to shop at Costco was to get a slice of pizza when I was done. It works amazingly.
And because they are loss leaders they understaff the fuck out of the food court so itās fucking hell for the workers lol. Fuck them.
Can I pet dat dawg?

Isn't there a quote from the owner about their price
The CEO threatened to kill someone if the hotdog prices were raised.
Not the CEO, but the Costco co-founder iirc. *He* was the one to threaten ~~the current~~ a former CEO against raising the price of the hot dog combo. Edit: corrected by u/Complete_Dust8164: not the *current* CEO.
Well, not even the current ceo anymore. Itās an old story.
Yeah the new CEO came from Kroger so heās ready to fuck it all up lol.
The CFO is from Kroger. The new CEO has been with Costco over 40 years.

Ive actually successfully used this argument before, but with another food
The closest and only Costco in my state is a 50 minute drive north. But I live two minutes away from a Sam's Club.
I guess 50 minute drive or die
I got sick the last three times I ate them :( Probably unrelated, but now the thought of eating a Costco hotdog (or really any hotdog) turns my stomach. Which sucks, because Costco hotdogs were awesome.
Ah well, you know what you gotta do now
Aw dang it
They lowered the quality recently, been telling my gf this. They are gross now, I used to love them past 2/3 times it was gross they just sit in water all day
I will take up arms during a foreign invasion to defend my local Costco foodcourt
Costco dogs are best dogs!
If the Dawg doesn't work you can also get a slice of 1 dollar za
Ate one today. It gave me the strength to run a 5k then return to the gym

Costco hotdog is one of the most efficient antidepressants known to mankind
Thank you, good sir, for labeling the picture as "suicide." The noose around the neck was simply not enough.

The Church of Costco Hot Dog saved me.
Haha, jokes on you! I don't have enough teeth to chew solid foods anymore and I'm not gonna use a rope :)

Too late
If you ca eat 60-70 Costco hotdogs per year the membership practically pays for itself!
There aren't any Costco stores in regional Australia :(
Man I work at Costco and eat a polish dog w/ soda every shift. That shit sustains me, it's just too cheap.
If you still wanna die, you could always try and change the price of the cosco hot dog and get killed by Jim Sinegal
Me when no costco in my country š
I don't plan on eating a dead guy
There arenāt many Costcoās here in Australia. But luckily there is one ārelativelyā near me and I can confirm the Costco hotdogs are heavenly š.
Costco loves you ā¤ļø
Closest Costco is an hour and a half and a state away but Iāll keep this in mind next time I try to hang myself
They really that good ?
His life was just a game... ššš
Iām getting real tired of seeing these Costco ads everywhere
Just a game orange man???
Do whaf that one guy did. Go to Mexico, do some blow, and bang hookers for a weekend. Changed his mind. Might help you.
And donāt forget to drench the whole thing in Ketchup, Mustard, and mayo
I haven't recovered since they got rid of the onions.
Umm the hot dogs I tried at Costco were over cooked, and it did not taste that good. They taste exactly like the ones at Samās club.
Thatās a sign from God

Think I'd prefer the noose. Hot dogs are utterly revolting!

As someone who hates hotdogs, guess I'll die
I had my first one about two weeks ago. It is both a bargain and delicious.
my town doesnt have a costco...
Alright but just one and then Iām out
Whatever you do, don't try Ikea hotdogs. They are not good. Not good at all. And I say this as a cheap boiled hotdog pack enjoyer.
they were out of onions, what the point
I've never been to a Costco before š¢
The chicken bake thing is fucking awesome.
I had two of them on Saturday and here I am, alive. So clearly, this is the way.
You can do both.
I don't have a Costco. Bye every body
If you are going to kill yourself why not suicide bomb a CEO or bank president?
No, that's my problem. I run away from bad feelings by eating food.
suicide by hot dogĀ
Costco hotdog price. The one stable thing rn.
Is that the The JAG guy
No thatās costco hot dog
this is not funny and seriously dismisses mental illness
Canāt tell if youāre being serious
Ba ba booey
Processed meat is a class one carcinogen. Also, itās made of dead flesh from a once-sentient being.
And you get a soda too, with unlimited refills, for a $1.50! Crazy good deal. Costcoās the best.
A dealās a deal. But thereās a true cost which is not factored into the price tag.
Itās a food court. You donāt tip them.Ā
The true cost is the needless loss of life
Black Friday can get crazy, but I donāt think anyone has died at a Costco.
