Why are there 8 (maybe 10, YMMV) hotdogs to a pack, while only 6 (maybe 8, YMMV) buns to a package?

Actually, the woman I'm talking with asked me this question and she told me to think about it.

The answer is simple.

No matter how many worldly possessions you have, you will still be left feeling incomplete.
Once you attain enlightenment, you will understand why it is that the number of the hotdogs and buns does not matter.
It is who they are fed to that determines their weight.

Damn you, M4H... I was gonna post that! I'd post the one from Bulletproof Monk here too if I remembered it. Something dumb about "It doesn't matter because you can always have a hot dog..."

That was such an awful movie.

Yup. I paraphrased the initial response.
Anyone want to get the second one? 😀

For the life of me I can't remember how exactly it goes. I was too busy staring at Jamie King's hoo-hoos.

And we've got the next Sean William Scott reference! 😀

its because you have to buy another package of buns that way they can sell you 4 more buns then you need its the bread companies marketing strategy

That doesn't make sense, because hotdog manufacturers don't make the buns... so there's no benefit for them.

yes..... and that is why he said it's the "bread companies marketing strategy"...

Any thoughtful insights into this? One of those burning questions like what came first, the chicken or the egg.

Is a valid question though....it's a damn conspiracy....

Reference Link

Although if in Father of the bridge he had bought 3x8 hot dogs and 2x12 buns then he would have been sorted....but the "comedy" would gave been lost...

Regarding the whole Egg/Chicken thing....I think it was the chicken....and it just appeared....and 1 minute later was laying an egg.
 
Yeah, it's bullsh!t... don't know why they do that. Like they're fighting each other for some kind of standard or something.

Anyway, I only buy hotdogs in bulk (cause George Foreman cooks em nice for me) ... so I don't really have this problem... just gotta buy more buns every so often.
