TikToker eats nothing but Costco hot dogs for a week – and actually loses weight

A TikToker ate nothing but Costco hot dogs for a week and managed to save money, as well as lose weight.

TikToker Joey ‘Sir Yacht’ Kinsley went an entire week eating nothing but the Costco beef hot dog meal, which runs around $1.50, and comes with meat, bread, and a drink.

Costco is known for its cheap in-store meals that patrons usually get while shopping for items in bulk. The combos and items usually go viral for just how cheap they are, interesting combinations, or the antics of those in-store.

To kick off 2024, however, the wholesale retailer has gotten the attention of TikTok thanks to Sir Yacht and his challenge to eat every meal for an entire week at Costco.

TikToker Costco hot dog experience

Sir Yacht spent under $45 on 21 hot dogs over the course of the week. The social media creator also said that he actually lost weight after going on a hot dog-only diet.

He showcased how he went from 229.5 pounds at the start of the week, to 225.3 pounds at the end of the week.

However, a hot dog-only food pyramid might not be what people who want to lose weight choose as their next diet fad, as the creator said his bathroom experience during the week was not pleasant.

In the end, Sir Yacth said the experience was 100% worth it, that he never got over the taste of a Costco hot dog, and he “balled on a budget.”

“To my surprise, I never got sick of eating hot dogs once despite my bowl movements resembling Willy Wonka’s chocolate river,” he said.
