This is the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

Nick, your favorite hot dog, the Costco dog.

Been a buck 50 with a soda since 1985.

Yes.

It's staying there.

Don't freak out. But what would it cost today? Oh, I don't know, $3.80. $4.55. Would you not get it then? It was $4.55? I think it's still a good deal. It's a big hot dog. It's consistent. How big is that hot dog? Is it 12 inches? I've got to be approaching that. I put my hands up like everybody can see. How about this big? It's radio. Big enough that it lures people in that they probably lose money on it. At $4.55, I would want some other side item, not just the hot dog and the drink.

Quarter pound hot dog, all beef. I've never had this at Costco. I don't really go to Costco.

Never, actually, but a 20-ounce soda. Now, it lists that 20-ounce soda. Now, you can get a diet

soda would have no calories. This lists is at 580 to 850 calories. That's probably it. If you got the diet soda,

it's probably 580. If you get a regular soda, it's probably 850. So 580 for a hot dog and a soda,

it's not that bad. No, it's a big hot dog. I don't know if it's still the same. Now does that list

how much ketchup? That's a catch that many calories at all.

They have little, they used to have this fresh onion grater, but COVID, they never came back after COVID.

No, and then, but now they just have little cups of onions.

You don't even have to ask for them.

They got them right there.

It's convenient.

Okay.

I don't know if it's still the same CEO in charge or not, but the guy that was brought up with somebody at a meeting once brought up raising the price of that, and the dude turned to him and said, I will kill you. Here's the deal with this. I don't know. I'm not a food person when it comes to money, but the bottom line, I wonder if a buck 50 is still profit. No, still is. No, I don't think it's not. They're actually losing money? No, I think they've said that it's a losing deal for them, but it's worth it. Right. Yeah, because a Chicago dog. They can make it up anywhere. They can make that up anywhere. They could sell something just for a couple of cents more all across the board and make that up.

They could go for that.

Don't you think they could do two bucks? No, I think they got to pay for that. I think people would still pay for it, but I think that they just, they like the allure of the $1.50 hot dog. They hanged you two quarters back? You always get two anyway. You pay with your card. They've got a little kiosk. You don't even go up in order at the counter anymore.

A Chicago dog at Dervenor Schnitzel, this is the Omaha location.
