How is this a meme?
Edit: aha! As senae linked me Below it is an established meme, just a relatively obscure one that I never encountered before.
I really was asking, btw. While I am fond of a bit of good spirited pedantry, it ain’t like I’m a meme master :)
Know your meme, friend
Thank you!
I mean, it is if you were aware of the relevant Instagram trend that was popular for three-four months in 2016
Lemmy is thirsty for content. Not very discriminate right now.
All it takes is a random picture now.
Welcome back to r/funny
That’s why I asked lol. Most of them, I can either tell it’s just a funny picture and move on, or otherwise accept that fact. But this kinda looked like a format of some kind, like it had some underlying awareness assumed, which meant OP was likely “memeing in good faith” and I just didn’t know what the meme was.
In 2009, the Seattle Times asked Costco co-founder (and then-CEO) Jim Sinegal, “If [the price of the hot dog] ever goes up, what will it mean?” Sinegal replied, “That I’m dead.”
The quote I always heard was;
The founder of Costco told a CEO who wanted to raise the prices on Costco’s hot dogs: “If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
I just love the finality of it
“Welcome to Costco. I love you.”
Those are some fingers if I ever saw some.
Ai don’t know how hands work yet
So sad they discontinued the chicken wings. It was sooo good.
Turkey pesto sandwiches and combo pizzas - this must be a pre-pandemic photo.
And Italian sausages, too.
I go to Costco, I get hot dog. This is the way.
My wife whenever we go to Costco
Lol
I miss those turkey pesto sandwiches…
I think I’m too Finnish to understand this joke 😅 Can somebody explain it to me please?
Costco is a wholesale store commonly found in US cities. They sell really cheap food and are famous for their cheap as dirt hot dogs that cost $1.50.
Basically Biltema Körv
“All beef hot dog?” Has it always been that way? I thought hot dogs were a pig product.
The ones from Costco have always been beef.
Fuck I love Costco.
I don’t always want to eat a hot dog, but I’m constantly reminded that all good things must come to an end. When costco’s CEO’s gone, so will the $1.50 hot dogs. So for now, I buy one anyway because in another 5-10 years, we might not have it anymore.
The casings can be pig intestine. The meat itself is not pig.
Most are either beef or chicken afaik, but it depends on the particular brand
Normal hot dogs are always beef. The “100% beef” is just marketing bullshit since technically a hot dog can be any meat.
You know I got that dog in me
Ah yes, Vurt by Jeff Noon
LOL couldn’t even bother to photoshop the shadows off of them that were cast by the bright sun in the original photo from their outdoor adventure in a picturesque landscape.
I mean we already know it’s fake, they did it for the funny idea of the image. Why do many photoshop when few photoshop do trick?
It is funny
Best 200 (225?) Icelandic Kr I spent on the island.
Wait, does your Costco really have the Al Pastor Salad? I miss that salad!
