We've seen our fair share of companies selling phallus-shaped foods over the years, but we never thought Costco would be guilty of it. The warehouse just seemed far too demure, far too mindful for that.
Well, it's not a particular food at Costco that's grabbing attention online...it's the lid of a cup.
In a hilarious Reddit thread, a customer shared a photo of the cup and posed this question: "Costco just expects me to drink from the balls of my lid?"
Sure enough, the tab on the cup's lid looks awfully similar to a part of the male body. As a result of the NSFW lid, Reddit users are having a field day in the comments.
"Make eye contact with other gents at the food court while sipping," one person wrote.
"Hate to say it… but looks like you got shafted," read another comment.
One user pointed out that there is a pretty easy way to avoid the whole balls-in-your-face look when using the lid.
"I usually push it inward and up against itself. But if you prefer balls. That's all you," they wrote.
And what do you get when you mention Costco and male genitalia? Lots of hot dog references.
"There's a reason it comes with the hot dog," one person wrote.
Lewd jokes aside, it turns out that the NSFW lids are actually preferred over straws by many shoppers.
"First time I used this I thought it was goofy. After figuring it out and using I was happy to ditch the cardboard straws!" wrote one happy customer.
