A TikTok user known as the “Oracle of Costco” gained popularity by wearing a rotisserie chicken barcode on a shirt to avoid LED poisoning concerns. The user, part of the ‘OldJewishMen’ group, bought multiple chickens and claimed they were contaminated by checkout scanner lights. To prevent this, they wore a shirt with the barcode whenever visiting Costco, emphasizing no LEDs on their chickens. The TikToker earned the nickname “Oracle of Costco” and urged the store to switch chicken packaging from bags to boxes. Costco eventually reintroduced the boxes, leading to another viral moment. Viewers praised the TikToker’s efforts, calling them healthy, adorable, and fun. Some suggested alternatives like removing price tags or using a phone to scan items. In other Costco news, customers can now order a Basket meal with chicken strips and fries in the U.S., echoing a popular offering in Canada. Additional TikTok videos show surprise birthday parties held in Costco aisles, adding a fun twist to shopping experiences.
