How is this a meme?
Edit: aha! As senae linked me Below it is an established meme, just a relatively obscure one that I never encountered before.
I really was asking, btw. While I am fond of a bit of good spirited pedantry, it ain't like I'm a meme master :)

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."
13 1 ReplyThe quote I always heard was;
The founder of Costco told a CEO who wanted to raise the prices on Costco's hot dogs: "If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
I just love the finality of it

"All beef hot dog?" Has it always been that way? I thought hot dogs were a pig product.
4 0 ReplyThe ones from Costco have always been beef.
Fuck I love Costco.
6 0 ReplyI 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.

Most are either beef or chicken afaik, but it depends on the particular brand
3 0 ReplyThe casings can be pig intestine. The meat itself is not pig.
3 0 ReplyNormal hot dogs are always beef. The "100% beef" is just marketing bullshit since technically a hot dog can be any meat.

1 0 ReplyWait, does your Costco really have the Al Pastor Salad? I miss that salad!
1 0 ReplyBeef 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.
3 3 ReplyHuh? Beef hotdogs taste wrong? The fuck you talkin about? Costco is famous for their cheap ass beef hotdogs.
