THE RECORD

identity

The historical photograph shows one topped serving with onions and mustard. [2] [6]

THE RECORD

history

A photograph identified as Polish dates to July 2009, with country unknown. Antioch’s March 2012 menu provides a specifically American record. In July 2018, KGO reported the Polish dog’s disappearance from some locations while the regular hot-dog deal remained. [6] [2] [3]

Costco’s explanation cites a simpler menu, room for healthier options and stronger sales of the all-beef hot dog. That explanation does not establish one final-sale day for every warehouse. [1]

The historical values below describe a named sausage serving, not a verified sausage-and-drink combo. The original operator label and exact recipe era remain unauthenticated. [5] [7]

THE RECORD

prices

The dated offer is Antioch’s Polish dog with a drink, listed alongside the regular hot-dog option at the same price. It is a historical local combo. [2]

THE RECORD

distinctions

Customers did not all prefer the same sausage. In a Reddit discussion, the self-identified Canadian writer thermal7 favored the Polish dog’s stronger flavor, and Everydayarmday24 also preferred it. Slpry_Pete said they had never particularly liked it. These attributed reactions explain part of its appeal without inventing a consensus, an ingredient list or a sales ratio. [4]

CalorieKing’s undated entry and the mirrored sheet revised December 21, 2011 both list an 8.3 oz K.S. Polish Sausage at 570 calories, with 33 g fat, 45 g carbohydrate, 23 g protein and 1,760 mg sodium. Their agreement does not authenticate the recipe or identify included beverages and toppings; the mirror gives no country or warehouse. [5] [7]

The FAQ’s displayed March 2026 field belongs to the document, not the removal. The licensed photo page identifies the sausage through a Polish tag, with tag authorship and location unknown. Canadian diner recollections do not establish current Canadian availability, and retail sausage packs have their own serving specifications. [1] [6] [4]
