Costco is still your source for jumbo packs of toilet paper that will last you though the apocalypse, but pretty soon the big box chain’s Polish hot dogs will no longer be part of its popular food court menu.
Treat yourself! Some celebrities have major soft spots for fast food — and they’re never afraid to fulfill their cravings. Kylie Jenner decided to seek out some McDonald’s after drinking with her sister Kendall Jenner for a YouTube video collaboration. “Honestly guys, I haven’t been to McDonald’s in a really long time,” the Kylie Cosmetics […]
The retail giant quietly announced on Thursday, July 5, that it was revamping its menu in an effort to make way for healthier options, and now that people are out of their Independence Day daze, the startling news is setting in. In short, a lot of people are not pleased.
Still, it’s worth noting that even though the Polish wiener will soon be no more, the all-beef hot dog – which you can still buy with a soda for just $1.50, the same price it was when the combo was introduced in 1984 – isn’t going anywhere. “The all-beef hot dog remains,” Costco CFO Richard Galanti told The Seattle Times, noting the Polish dog will continue to be sold in bulk.
The publication notes Costco hinted at a shift towards healthier menu items back in January, when chief executive Craig Jelinek reportedly told company shareholders, “Not everybody gets as excited about pizza and hot dogs as I do.”

In the Polish hot dog’s place, Costco shoppers can expect to see more nutritious items such as açai fruit bowls, organic burgers (which started appearing in some stores last summer) and a plant-based protein salad.
Shaken or stirred? National Martini Day is June 19, and to mark the James Bond-approved occasion, Us Weekly has put together a gallery of celebrities sipping on the classic cocktail. Jennifer Lawrence is clearly a martini fan, and she’s not the only one! Go ahead and pour yourself a drink, and see which famous faces […]
Given those replacements, it’s easy to see why many Polish hot dog lovers are outraged. Check out some impassioned Twitter reactions below:
My entire childhood is eating a polish hot dog after shopping at Costco. And not to mention y'all took off the berry sundae and added an açai bowl. You also took off the chocolate ice cream and only have vanilla and this vanilla açai swirl. Genuinely mad. #SaveThePolishDog
Say what??? Costco to ditch Polish hot dog for acai fruit bowl, organic burger and a plant-based protein salad. The polish hot dog and bottled water is how I wait while wife handles checkout process. I hope "organic" is a euphemism for "beef."@cherylcasone@FoxBusiness
