Move over, Costco hot dog! There’s a new heavyweight in the ballpark snack world.
IKEA just announced a giant hot dog that’s so massive it makes Costco’s famously oversized frank look like a cocktail weenie. The new offering, served at select IKEA restaurants and bistros, has diners doing double takes with its length and heft sparking an unofficial “Wiener Measuring Match” between the two retail food legends. Social media users are already wondering if IKEA designers measured the hot dog in Swedish centimeters just to rub it in (or maybe they just really like sausage).
Costco’s hot dog has long reigned as the iconic $1 deal that feeds the masses after a furniture run, but IKEA’s jumbo dawgs are now giving it a run for its money, literally and figuratively. Fans have taken to the internet with memes joking about Costco and IKEA standing in a parking lot, hot dogs strapped to tape measures like arm wrestlers sizing up who truly dominates big-snack bragging rights. Whether you’re Team Costco or Team IKEA, one thing’s clear: IT'S YOUR MOVE HOME DEPOT!
