Costco has introduced a small but seismic update to its famous $1.50 hot dog combo, marking the first significant change to the meal’s composition in more than 40 years.
Costco now allows customers to substitute a 16.9-ounce bottle of Kirkland Signature water for the traditional 20-ounce fountain soda. While the pairing has evolved, the price — which has remained a flat $1.50 since the 1980s — remains firmly intact.
And for our health. Reusing plastic drink bottles not only exposes people to move micro plastics and chemicals, but plastic is porous. Even with regular washing, bacteria can leech into these pores overtime and be almost impossible to remove.
Plastics are some of the worst things we have created as a species.
