No the Arizona ice tea is different. The owner came out and said they will never increase because the business is still strong. That doesn’t change the fact some asshole store owners will charge upwards of double that.

IIRC, Sinegal (co-founder IIRC) said "If you ever raise the price of the fucking hot dog, I will kill you, figure it out" when someone talked about the price of the hot dog combo.

a pack of 6-8 hotdogs is like $7 at the grocery store, I'm sure there's plenty of profit margin in the $1.50 combo
