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 steadfast commitment to its iconic $1.50 hot dog and soda combo continues to anchor trader sentiment, with CEO Ron Vachris reinforcing the long-standing brand promise in a March 2026 taste-test video by declaring the price fixed “as long as I’m around.” This echoes decades of executive pledges treating the item as a loss-leader cultural staple rather than a profit center, even as inflation and selective food-court adjustments like the chicken bake have occurred elsewhere. The April 2026 addition of a bottled-water option marked the first menu evolution in 40 years yet left the sticker price untouched, underscoring operational discipline. With only months remaining until the 2027 resolution window closes, the 90.5% implied probability for “No” reflects overwhelming consensus around continuity, though an unexpected leadership shift or extreme protein-cost spike could still force a rare reversal.
