Kinsley ended up consuming 29 hot dogs in seven days for a total of $43.50.

Costco famously kept the price of its hot dog combo meals at $1.50 despite market inflationary pressures.
Kinsley said she only drank water when she wasn't eating combo meals.

Kinsley was aware of this data and urged his social media viewers not to try what he did.
“I would never recommend anyone do that, just because it's not good for you. God knows what's in that hot dog.” Kinsley told Business Insider.
“I would never have done this without the social media project.”
