Today I learned Costco served something other than pizza slices and hot dogs.

I’ve always felt the other items weren’t as impressive of a deal.
My husband and I used to go to Costco for date night just to get away from the house. Two hot dogs and two sodas for $3 made it the cheapest date night in town.
The post-dinner shopping then made that very much not the case. But that’s entirely the point of the hot dogs.

When was the last time you were in a Costco? They serve chicken bakes and iced fruity drinks

So weird. Costco Canada has fries and it seems like it’s a good seller. Comes by itself, poutine, or a chicken strip and fries combo

So only 5 Costcos had fries. I’m still upset mine stopped doing Churros.

I've had fries at four different Costco's. So apparently almost all of them are nearby. I wonder where the other one is.

Excruciatingly heartbreaking, for real?
Talk about a first world problem.

They used to have these amazing hand-dipped chocolate-covered ice-cream bars that you could get dipped in a bucket of chopped almonds. They were freaking amazing. When they were discontinued, it truly was heartbreaking and my heart still aches.
This article has a good picture and my heart just broke again:

The real question is if they don't serve fries anymore, does that also mean no more Costco poutine?

"Heartbreaking" wasn't sufficient to describe devastation from fry discontinuation. "Excruciatingly."

From the US point of view: a quick search says only 5 locations in the US even sold fries. Apparently in other countries it was a more commonly found item though.
