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.Polymarket traders exhibit strong conviction, pricing a 91.5% implied probability against Costco raising its iconic $1.50 hot dog combo price before 2027, anchored by CEO Ron Vachris's explicit March 2026 pledge—"the price will not change as long as I'm around"—echoed in viral videos and multiple outlets. This upholds a 41-year tradition, sustained by Costco's membership-driven revenue model, in-house hot dog production, and high-margin private-label efficiencies that absorb food cost inflation without eroding overall profitability. Trader consensus reflects the food court's role as a traffic-generating loss leader amid resilient consumer spending. Potential challenges include C-suite transition or extreme commodity spikes, though these remain low-probability risks ahead of upcoming earnings reports.
