Case-File Mug: The $1.50 Hot Dog (Costco)

$24.00 USD
✨ Insured worldwide shipping included

They've sold the hot dog at $1.50 for forty years — and they lose money on every single bite. The hot dog isn't food: it's a psychological bribe so you don't feel guilty spending five hundred dollars in the main aisle. This black ceramic case-file mug archives the print «I CAME FOR THE HOT DOG» with the hot dog engraving, sublimated at 300 DPI — forensic humor for everyone who knows the real price of the free lunch.
