Costco’s $86 Hot Dog Bourbon Is Peak Status Brain Rot

Costco and Rare Character Whiskey are out here charging nearly ninety bucks for an 11-year-old spirit just because it’s branded with a $1.50 food court staple. I’ve seen some desperate PR plays in my time, but selling ‘struggle meal’ aesthetics at a luxury markup is the most hilarious gaslighting I’ve witnessed this year. They know you want to feel rich while cosplaying as someone who still eats lunch on a plastic tray. If I’m paying that much for bourbon, it better come with an actual hot dog that was hand-carved by a Michelin-star chef, not a catchy label designed to trick you into thinking you’re ‘relatable’ for owning it.
