FOODIES are fuming after spotting a brand new ''exclusive'' food court item in Costco which is available in Canada. No visit to the mega retailer is complete without popping over to the food court - however, for the time being Americans will have to miss out on a new item that Canadians are raving about. Pleads for the chicken tenders and fries combo to also be served in the US come on the heels of Costco's announcement of a controversial food court swap earlier this month .
In a move that has since caused much contention among members, the supermarket plans to ditch its Pepsi machines in favor of Coca-Cola products. The warehouse club served Coke in its food court for decades before switching to Pepsi in 2013. Now, foodies are begging Costco to also add fried chicken and crispy fries after growing tired of the ''s****y sandwich'' collection.
