I have a Costco that is walking distance from my office. If I need to decompress, I walk to Costco for lunch solo, get a hot dog and a slice of pizza, sit down, and watch both the people and what's in their cart. It's so diverse and pretty fascinating.
- SoftTalker 4mo agoHot dog and a slice? That's your calorie needs for the day.
- pruetj 4mo agoLOL, don't mess this up for me.
- OkayPhysicist 4mo agoUnless you are particularly sedentary, 1200 calories is pretty low for daily consumption.
- SoftTalker 4mo agoI'm thinking their hotdogs are huge, like 1/2 lb? And the slices are huge also. And most people probably get a 32oz cup of sugar water with them. Maybe I'm overestimating.
- OkayPhysicist 4mo agoFair, I did leave out the soda that comes with the hotdog. But that could be a diet soda. (and seems to frequently be, given that my local Costco has 4 diet coke spouts, as opposed to 1-2 of any others) I did look up the calorie count for both. 550-ish for the hotdog, 650-ish for the pizza.
- papercrane 4mo agoThe hot dogs are 1/4 lb, with the bun it's probably 500-600 calories.
- cobalt 4mo agohotdogs are 1/4lb, sodas are ~22oz
- Sohcahtoa82 4mo agoIf I eat just a hot dog or just a single slice, I'll still be hungry. Eating a hot dog and a slice, or two slices, and I won't be hungry...for an hour or two. ...I need to get a doctor and ask about a GLP-1.
- fundad 4mo agoThe food court is where we can all be ourselves. When I shop early I salute the people having breakfast in the food court. One afternoon I saw people at a table with an empty rotisserie chicken package, hittin' their macros. I had my baby with me one time, offering him bites of my hotdog and being praised for being a man spending time with my child as if I had vaccinated a needy village.
