Food in the kitchen is usually measured in pounds for meat and vegetables (similar to the UK) and grams for most other dry goods. So the recipe would call for 2 pounds of beef but 5 grams of salt. The Costco hit dogs are guaranteed to weigh at least ¼ pound.
The most confusing thing is soda, because it is sold in containers of either 350 mL, 16 oz, or 2 L.

Yeah, so for anyone too lazy to do the math, that means Costco hot dogs are more than twice as big as those Danish ones, and only cost 50% more.
Costco wins this round.

Not a fair fight. Costco keeps the hot dog and rotisserie chicken prices artificially low to attract customers.
