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

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

It's part of a vast government conspiracy.

10 dogs and 8 buns

or 8 dogs and 12 buns

just buy a lot and it all works out after a couple weeks

It's usually 10 hot dogs and 8 to a package. If you buy bun length hotdogs then it's 8 & 8.

 

[dighn]

i dunno, for packs of 8 buns? do they exist?


i just get packs of 6 dogs


they come in all kinds of packages, i dont see what's the problem.

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

 

[zCypher]

get a pack of 12 buns and two packs of 6 dogs, works out

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.

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

I dunno, but the ones I buy are 10 and 10.

 

[Jugernot]

DOn't know where you get your buns, but all the stores around he have 8 to a package.

yeah me too. Where do you all live that's so backwards that buns and hotdogs don't come in the same numbers?

 

[mpitts]

Because the people who make the buns don't make the hot dogs.

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

 

[8WOOD]

it bennifets the Bread company you have to buy almost two bags of buns for every package of hotdogs you buy. Therefore the bread company makes twice as much

 

[ElFenix]

i get 8 buns no matter which brand i buy.

the hotdogs i get come 7 in a pack, though, which is annoying as hell.

You stole this question from Father of the Bride movie.

 

[jwells777]

Perhaps they figure we'll drop one or two into the BBQ...However, there is a much more fundamental and burning question in the world of hotdog conspiracies...Why do normal non-Kosher hotdog packs generally contain 8 dogs while the Kosher dogs come in packs of 7?

Brilliant I tell you...
