Customers can now choose a bottled water instead of a 20-ounce soda with their $1.50 hot dog combo at Costco locations in the US and Canada.
Both the Hot Dog & Soda Combo and the new Hot Dog & Water Combo are available for the same price, responding to customer demand for healthier or resealable drink options.
The combo price remains unchanged since the 1980s, despite inflation and past speculation about increases. Costco recently required membership for food court purchases and switched back to Coca-Cola products in 2025.
