Soda isn't my preference and personally I'd probably skip out, but it feels disingenuous to completely ignore something included in the price when discussing the value of an item.
That's why I have percentages for both the dog alone and the combo.
- layla5alive 1mo agoThe combo also includes water as an option instead of soda, water is 0 calories. The hot dog is what matters.

- riknos314 1mo agoYou're welcome to break this down however you wish. I don't think there's any perfect measurement or stat here as every consumer values the various components of the combo differently. If you are a consumer that values the drink highly, then a dog-only analysis is incomplete. If you only care about the dog then you want to leave the drink out. Neither of these calculations is inherently more or less accurate than the other, they're just relevant to different preferences. My original point is that by changing what metric and how much of the combo you look at the calculated loss can vary significantly: over an order of magnitude difference between the dog-only volume loss and the refilled drink calorie loss. lies, damned lies, and statistics.
- nchmy 1mo agoThere's no limit on how much ketchup you can add. Since total calories/$ is your metric, there's no reason why you couldn't make each visit deflationary!
- Brian_K_White 1mo agoAnd some people eat the dog dry and some add a bunch of relish and mustard and four other toppings. And some people don't eat the bun. And some people don't even finsh the dog. So what? The option to get water is a meaningless observation that doesn't invalidate the assessment of what you get for the money.
