Costco is known for selling cheap hot dogs. As of December 2, 2025, the Costco hot dog and 20 oz soda combo is $1.50. This market will resolve to "Yes" if the price of a standard Costco hot dog and 20 oz soda combo before tax exceeds $1.50 in any Costco store in the United States by December 31, 2026, 11:59PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No". If Costco announces they will increase the price, this market will resolve to "Yes" regardless of whether that change is actually implemented. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Costco, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Costco’s unwavering commitment to its iconic $1.50 hot dog and soda combo continues to anchor trader sentiment, with CEO Ron Vachris publicly declaring in March 2026 that the price “will not change as long as I’m around.” This echoes decades of executive pledges, including prior leaders’ legendary insistence on preserving the loss-leader staple that drives foot traffic and sustains high membership renewal rates despite inflation pressures. The April 2026 addition of a bottled water option marked the first menu tweak in 40 years yet left pricing untouched, reinforcing the cultural status of the combo as an inflation-proof brand promise. While extreme supply shocks could theoretically force a shift before year-end 2026, Costco’s scale and vertical integration make such an outcome improbable in traders’ eyes.
