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.

They’re like $12 for a pack of 18 huge ones at Costco

4 USD for 9 small ones in Denmark.
450g=16 oz or whatever you use.

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.
