A recent Costco food hack is sweeping the nation – the Forbidden Glizzy. This edible treat is as delicious as it is disgusting. Naturally, I had to try it for myself. On a recent trip to Costco, I stood in line and purchased a hotdog and chicken bake. The combination costs only $5.49 and comes in at 1420 calories.
Once served, simply combine the hotdog with the chicken bake – tear off the end of the chicken bake and jam the dog inside.
For those new to the Glizzy, beware of the seam of the chicken bake. The unnatural addition of a hotdog into its new home may be too much for the parmesan crust. In my case, I noticed that some of the molten chicken inside the bake wanted to come out. Easily manageable, the Glizzy handles like a well-topped hotdog. Anyone that has made a trip to Dave’s Dogs in Goleta will be able to handle this.
If I have any complaint about the Glizzy, it is that you end up with some food waste. The bun sits alone missing its former companion. This single wasted bun brings only to mind the words of Lunchlady Doris from the Simpsons explaining to Lisa that her vegetarian option on hotdog day was “rich in bunly goodness.”
While the history of the Glizzy is unclear, the design is simple enough that multiple people are likely to have come up with it simultaneously. I seriously considered wrapping a slice of Costco cheese pizza around it to invent the “Forbidden Glizzy+” but about half through the meal decided I was too full. The origin of the name appears to go back to the man in the bog regretfully eating a cattail. The “forbidden” element appears to have been added as folks have shared and re-shared on social media.
While I don’t know that I need to go back to try this experiment again, I was glad that I did it! The combination works, assuming you can get over the sheer excess of it all. I recommend splitting the concoction with a friend as it is incredibly filling.
Seems like a great many people don’t give a second thought to abusing their bodies with trash food.
Hmm @ 02:21 PM – Most of us don’t live closed off lives not enjoying what our relatively short time has to offer us.
Good for you if you’re a health nut. I love people who just broadcast “I’m better because I do this” I’m sure all your friends and family think you’re superior to us “trash eaters”
FYI: Costco is open today 02/20/2023 & since the “Food Court” is outside no membership required to test this out… https://www.edhat.com/news/presidents-day-facts-1
From what I’ve seen online you’re supposed to fit the whole Hot dog w/bun inside, but it’s your choice!
Disgusting to me, but I believe people are all different and that’s a great thing, unless we’re talking about the obesity epidemic in our country. But that’s a different story. Great job security for us healthcare providers.
I’m not anti vax, I’m pro science. You can’t vax fir every single virus we inhale daily. But you’re off topic.
How dare people eat something so gluttonous, unnecessary and completely awful for them! Jayzoos folks, you’re not going to balloon overnight or have an instant stroke from eating something stupidly unhealthy but likely delicious one time. Life is too short to spend it munching carrots and oats like a horse and talking down to others as if you’re perched on the very horse whose diet you are mimicking. Live and let live.
