10 hotdogs per package; 8 rolls per package. Annoyance? Or marketing genius?

[Atomic Playboy]

The only mass produced hot dogs worth eating come in 7 per package. That leaves you with 7 dogs, 7 buns, and one bun always is burned on the grill before I get around to eating them. I see no problem.

My roommate just picked up a couple packs of Hebrew National 97% fat free dogs, and they come in a 7 pack. Not sure why the hell you'd ever want a 97% fat free hot dog, since anyone who is concerned about their weight shouldn't be eating hot dogs to begin with... But still, it's appallingly stupid to have a 7 pack of dogs and an 8 pack of buns. I don't get parity until I have 56 of each item. Fuck that nonsense.

Fortunately Hebrew National also makes 4 packs, which are much more convenient.

you do know that hot dogs are made from cow bits and anuses right?

just eat the bun and throw away the dog

 

[GundamW]

I give my dog the extra 2 hot dogs.

Well, it's a dog eat dog world.....

But the anus is what really gives it flavor.

Fat free = why bother. It isn't like there is THAT much fat in the full fat versions. Eat two and you are at 44% of fat for the day. That isn't too bad for a meal (which should average 33%). True, the bun may have some fat, but not much. Hot dog toppings don't really have much fat either normally.

That said, I doubt that you've never lost a bun. Burnt, dried out, moldy, dropped in the dirt, etc. I lose about one per package on average. Parity = 1 package.

That is true, unless you eat the hot dogs linked twice by two different people in the thread.

lol.i cracked up reading this.

:hmm:
Discuss.

There are so many brands for hotdogs and buns that some have 8 and some have 10. Pick and choose and you won't have this problem.

you messed up your link, you meant to post boar's head natural casing dogs

 

[bobdole369]

No. They come seven in a pack.

Ahhh. Hebrews are good ass hot dogs. Something has changed with them over the past 10 years. I used to get them all the time and they were snappy, delicious and flavorful, but the last few I've tried were not nearly as snappy or as good as I remember.

Perhaps I got the reduced fat ones by mistake.

 

[FDF12389]

Never even seen that brand before

It's because your location is WI. Move to where there are jews and you'll see lots of it.

Nah, they carry them here in WI. It is my hot dog of choice. The OM Premium Beef hot dogs are pretty good as well.

If you're not eating Zweigle's, you're not doing it right.

This. Only one or two companies do the 10 dogs. Most do 8.

Actually, the anus, lips, ears, etc. are worth more to the Pet Food industry than they would sell for in the hot dogs.
(Most)Hot dogs are actually the trimmings from the various cuts of pork & beef, mostly fat. (Unless they are the "new" chicken & turkey dogs)
Ever see a slightly pink hot dog and the ingredients list "Artificial Coloring Added?

20 years in the Construction industry, I have worked at a lot of processing plants.
