The new combo comes with a 16.9-ounce bottle of Kirkland Signature water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nI know just how sacred the Costco hot dog is, so before anyone yells at me\u2026 I have never had one. Please, no attacking. While I don\u2019t have a Costco membership, even I know the $1.50 hot dog combo is one of those untouchable American institutions. And for the first time in decades, it\u2019s getting a little unexpected shake-up.<\/p>\n
No, Costco is not messing with the hot dog itself. The quarter-pound all-beef staple is still the same, and the price is still holding strong at $1.50, which honestly feels more miraculous with each passing year. What is changing, however, is the drink situation. Alongside the classic hot dog-and-soda pairing, Costco is now offering a version of the combo that comes with a 16.9-ounce bottle of Kirkland Signature water instead.<\/p>\n
That may sound minor, but the combo has been essentially the same since the mid-\u201980s, and for plenty of Costco loyalists, the whole point is not just the price, but the ritual of it all: the dog, the drink, the absurdly good value.<\/p>\n\n\nStill, the new choice of bottled water isn\u2019t that outlandish. Not everyone wants to drag a refillable soda cup around the warehouse, and a resealable bottle is undeniably easier if you are still mid-shop and not ready to sit down for lunch. It\u2019s also a more appealing choice for anyone trying to keep the sugar count down while still participating in the Costco hot dog tradition.<\/p>\n
So yes, everyone can unclench. The good news is that the hot dog is staying put and so is the $1.50 price tag. Costco fans just have one more way to order the combo now, which, for a deal this iconic, still feels like a pretty big Costco moment.<\/p>\n\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
