How is this a meme?

Edit: aha! As senae linked me Below it is an established meme, just a relatively obscure one that I never encountered before.

I really was asking, btw. While I am fond of a bit of good spirited pedantry, it ain’t like I’m a meme master :)

I mean, it is if you were aware of the relevant Instagram trend that was popular for three-four months in 2016

That’s why I asked lol. Most of them, I can either tell it’s just a funny picture and move on, or otherwise accept that fact. But this kinda looked like a format of some kind, like it had some underlying awareness assumed, which meant OP was likely “memeing in good faith” and I just didn’t know what the meme was.

In 2009, the Seattle Times asked Costco co-founder (and then-CEO) Jim Sinegal, “If [the price of the hot dog] ever goes up, what will it mean?” Sinegal replied, “That I’m dead.”

The quote I always heard was;

The founder of Costco told a CEO who wanted to raise the prices on Costco’s hot dogs: “If you raise the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

I just love the finality of it
