Costco Revives $1.49 Twisted Churros in U.S. Food Courts for Limited Time

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Sep 19

Summary

  • Costco said Friday its twisted churros will return to U.S. food courts over the coming weeks, with launch dates varying by warehouse and the run limited in duration.
  • The dessert is expected to cost $1.49—the same as before it was dropped in 2024—after two years of customer pressure and days of speculation sparked by a teased Instagram video.
  • Instagram reactions were largely celebratory, though many shoppers pushed Costco to make the item permanent, while others said they wanted the older straight churro or the discontinued combo pizza instead.
  • The comeback is the latest tweak to Costco’s closely watched food court menu, which this year also added chicken tenders nationwide and a hot dog-and-water-bottle combo.
