The TikToker admitted he wanted “to see if paying $1.50 for a glizzy and drink was worth it.”

Sir Yacht revealed he ate 29 hot dog meals over the week, which averages out to about four a day.

Those meals worked out to a total of $43.50 spent for the week – a fraction of the $164.82 the average millennial spends on food a week.

“That’s something that’s completely unheard of in 2024,” the social media star told People magazine.

He invited friends, who appeared to enjoy his experiment, along on some of his warehouse outings.

He also admitted he “never got sick” of eating the dogs, despite his bowel movements “resembling Willy Wonka’s chocolate river.”

The bonus was Sir Yacht’s 4.2-pound weight loss.

“I also might have started a new diet trend,” he joked. “Or I have a giant tapeworm.”

Sir Yacht told the publication he “doesn’t recommend” that others try it, explaining he made sure he “walked 10-15 miles a day, drank a gallon of water a day and took daily vitamins that may or may not have been the Flintstone dinosaur ones.”

Musing about whether the experiment was worth it, he told viewers, “Abso-f***ing-lutely.”

Sir Yacht summed up: “I balled on a budget, lost weight and had the culinary experience of a lifetime.”

The acclaimed combo – a 1/4 lb. beef hot dog and 20 oz. soda (with refill) – has long been a popular item for Costco members over the years.

Despite inflation, the company is committed to keeping the meal under $2. Costco has offered the deal since 1985.
