Costco doesn’t plan to raise the price of its beloved franks anytime soon. The retailer has been hawking its hot-dog-and-soda combo for a smooth $1.50 since it first hit menus in the mid-1980s. The price tag has held steady over the years despite inflation — otherwise it would be closer to $4.40 these days. According to legend, as well as past-CEO Craig Jelinek himself, he said, ‘If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you,’ Jelinek recalled in a 2018 interview with 425 Business.
