    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.”

      The 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.

      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.

      Normal hot dogs are always beef. The “100% beef” is just marketing bullshit since technically a hot dog can be any meat.

    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?

    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.
