    and the $5 roast chicken. They recently upgraded it too (leaky plastic container -> sealed bag). The next generation never understands the wars that have been fought for them.

      You mean they recently reduced their maintenance costs, and also their employee sick-days!

  Not only are the hot dogs cheap as hell, they're honestly not that bad. It's not a gourmet hot dog or anything, but despite being basic they're pretty decent quality.

    Yeah, they're still a hot dog, but they're somehow better than that mainstream Oscar Meyer crap.

      Yes, they're delicious. The burps afterwards are pretty gross, though, haha. But I haven't found a hot dog that has less gross burps. It's the cost of doing business, especially at Costco. Except those apple chicken dog things, but they are not a proper hotdog.

        This made me laugh out loud, because the first thing that came to mind when I tried to remember the last time I had a Costco hotdog was a Costco hotdog burp! And you're so right!
