Description
You went in for a pack of paper towels. You emerged, blinking in the sunlight, with a 72-pack of paper towels, an inflatable kayak, three pounds of trail mix, and somehow... a brand-new television.
If that sounds familiar, don't feel bad. Costco got you. And trust me, they did it on purpose.
See, here's the secret: absolutely nothing in that warehouse is an accident. Not the layout, the lack of signs, or those tiny paper cups of free cheesecake. Every inch of the experience is engineered to make you stay longer, spend more, and feel weirdly great about it. Today we're diving into 25 weird facts about Costco that sound like total urban legends until you check the receipts.
