That's why I asked lol. Most of them, I can either tell it's just a funny picture and move on, or otherwise accept that fact. But this kinda looked like a format of some kind, like it had some underlying awareness assumed, which meant OP was likely "memeing in good faith" and I just didn't know what the meme was.
In 2009, the Seattle Times asked Costco co-founder (and then-CEO) Jim Sinegal, "If [the price of the hot dog] ever goes up, what will it mean?" Sinegal replied, "That I'm dead."
The founder of Costco told a CEO who wanted to raise the prices on Costco's hot dogs: "If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
I don't always want to eat a hot dog, but I'm constantly reminded that all good things must come to an end. When costco's CEO's gone, so will the $1.50 hot dogs. So for now, I buy one anyway because in another 5-10 years, we might not have it anymore.
LOL couldn't even bother to photoshop the shadows off of them that were cast by the bright sun in the original photo from their outdoor adventure in a picturesque landscape.

How is this a meme?
Edit: aha! As senae linked me Below it is an established meme, just a relatively obscure one that I never encountered before.
I really was asking, btw. While I am fond of a bit of good spirited pedantry, it ain't like I'm a meme master :)

"All beef hot dog?" Has it always been that way? I thought hot dogs were a pig product.
ramenshaman@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
The ones from Costco have always been beef.
Fuck I love Costco.

The casings can be pig intestine. The meat itself is not pig.

Most are either beef or chicken afaik, but it depends on the particular brand
FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org · 1 pts · 2y
Normal hot dogs are always beef. The "100% beef" is just marketing bullshit since technically a hot dog can be any meat.

I mean we already know it's fake, they did it for the funny idea of the image. Why do many photoshop when few photoshop do trick?

Beef hotdogs just taste wrong. Go for their pizza slices instead.
Also this photo is fake because it doesn't have a 30 minute queue snaking around the eating area.

Huh? Beef hotdogs taste wrong? The fuck you talkin about? Costco is famous for their cheap ass beef hotdogs.

Sausages should be pork. Burgers should be beef.

Traditional hot dogs have NEVER been pork. Idk what planet you live on lol.

No, hotdogs have traditionally been beef. And they taste great.
