Costco's famous $1.50 hot dog combo gets simple swap that can slash your sugar intake

Months after Costco began allowing customers to swap the soda in its iconic $1.50 hot dog combo for bottled water, shoppers are still debating what constitutes the best value at the warehouse club's food court.

A recent Reddit discussion about Costco's food court pricing began with a shopper questioning the logic of buying a soda alone for 79 cents when another 71 cents would get customers a hot dog, too.

The conversation soon flipped the question around, with customers wanting the hot dog but not necessarily the soda.
