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.Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 93% implied probability against Costco raising its iconic $1.50 hot dog combo before 2027, driven by CEO Ron Vachris' explicit March 2026 pledge to maintain pricing throughout his tenure, echoing co-founder Jim Sinegal's longstanding mandate. Recent April 2026 food court updates—adding a bottled water option while keeping the combo unchanged—reinforce this commitment amid steady membership fee revenue, which comprised 64% of fiscal 2025's $69.60 billion total, insulating the loss-leader from food cost inflation. Costco's Q1 2026 membership growth further bolsters financial flexibility. Realistic challenges include unforeseen commodity spikes or post-earnings strategic shifts, though current dynamics favor continuity ahead of the next quarterly release.
