Exactly, because people are too fucking stupid to know a giant piece of beef with bread and cheese has a high calorie count.

Sam's Club pizza is better.But does it match Costco's pizza?

Mine was cold and not delicious.
This was after I waited long for it.

I don't get the hype for the Costco food court. The food they sell there is legit gross. Sure the prices are great, but the food sucks. Their pizza is dipped in grease.

He wasn't alone.
Does Sam's Club give you free samples as you shop?
Terrible opinion. Grease is flavor.

Supposedly it's in Livermore, which may be a ways away from you depending where in the Bay Area you're in.
The pizzas are nasty, acidic things. But the hotdogs, the french fries, and the turkey provolone sandwiches are godlike.

I have no problem with greasy pizza, I have a problem when it is literally soaking in that shit. When that shit is dripping all over your plate and down your hands and arms lol. That is Costco pizza.

I think so too. They should sell a little sirloin steak for 4.99.

Seems really overpriced for what you get. $3.49 probably would have been the sweet spot for this thing.

Yep. Bout to have one for lunch. Chicken Bake is legit.
Same, especially when the bottom of the pizza is literally wet with grease. You lift the pizza up off the plate and it looks like you have remnants of tomato soup on the plate.
$1.50 hot dog combo is always where it is at.
I wonder if these hamburgers are made to order or if they stick it in the warmer. I could imagine the lettuce/tomato getting kind of nasty if left too long in there.
its just a third pound burger. What? do you normally eat sliders? If anything, it is too small for the price. Would rather have a half pound burger.

Can confirm it's in Livermore. Was just at Costco there last week and the pic of it is there. They've been testing the burger there since April or May (can't remember exactly) and I personally ate the burger around June myself.
Whoa now...lets not get carried away here....
Large? Huh?
It says 1/3lb...that's not a "big" burger. If I'm doing a "good" burger, I like to go to a place that hand makes them with custom toppings....the 1/2lb or double 1/4lb are the best.
Who cares about calories. Eat what you want, lift, and get swole.
That's the circle of life. Ain't making dem gainz without calories.
Why not just stick the whole fucking head of lettuce in there while you're at it? The cheese isn't even melted man.

I saw it but with that many calories hell no.

Best thing about Costco, as a Canadian, is that the Hot Dog and drink is still $1.50 up here, which means it's actually cheaper here than in the US...$1.50 CAD = $1.16 US. I hope that $4.99 price sticks, if they do bring it here.

~$4 CDN (~$3 USD)poutine is pretty legit for the price
A $5 burger + poutine combo could be godlike
Costco poutine is pretty good. Although I think my arteries would explode if I tried to eat it with a 1/2 pound burger.

That's 2/3 worth of daily calories for some people in a single sandwich. Would rather have a 1/4lb burger.
Cheese should be melted.
I hate that Costco loves to pimp 'organic'.

Just shop at CostCo on the weekend. This allows you to take your time and try every sample a couple of times. Go around dinner time so you don't have to cook or buy anything. Buy your bag of socks and then leave.
My biggest pet peeve. This can fuck up a whole burger. I specifically ask for a fresh burger whenever I go to a fast food joint. Really why me and McDonalds have beef is because they rarely melt their cheese.
My Costco's poutine looks like shit by comparison. Where is this at? My Niagara Region Costco uses a much lighter, thinner gravy.

The burger is okay, but I don't think i would buy it again for that price. A double double at inn & out is much better and cost less too.

I have a feeling this is going to be a new "struggle food" meme pic.

$5 seems pricey for that. Throw in Fries and a coke to make it a $6.50 combo then its not too bad.

I think its illegal now to say something is organic when it hasn't passed the organic criteria. But yeah many products used to have organic labeled on them just so they could mark up the price.
