About the Design of the “If You Raise The Price Of The Fucking Hot Dog” T-Shirt
Costco, one of the world’s leading retail chains, has captured the hearts of countless food connoisseurs with its super-popular combo of food and drink.
This shirt references that legendary combo. Its highlight lies in the illustration printed on the front—a familiar sight on the menu at any Costco food court—a hot dog-and-soda combo priced at just $1.50, first introduced in 1985 and maintaining its price for over three decades. This truly crazy deal has long become a legendary icon associated with the multinational corporation’s name.
The backside of the garment reveals a funny fact related to the top pick of many. The sentence “If you raise the [price of the] f***ing hot dog, I will kill you” is a delightful twist on the original quote “If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you” that co-founder Jim Sinegal said to Craig Jelinek, who succeeded him as CEO in 2012. In an interview with the media, Jelinek gleefully recalled the story, disclosing that he once suggested raising the combo’s price but was promptly met with Sinegal’s vehement opposition.
This tee has struck a chord on the internet for many years, sought after by those with a particular fondness for the Costco food court. If you’re loyal to that enticing combo, why not wear this apparel while relishing it?
