its just one of lifes little mysteries...
actually, no its a marketing technique.
you buy a package of Ten Hot Dogs, you get a package of 8 hot dog buns, you realize OMG i need 2 more HOT DOG BUNS
so you search the store, until u give up, and end up paying for 18 hotdog buns, and ten hotdogs... lather, rinse, repeat!

Great answer: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_350.html
Boils down to: Bakers don't like tens, in part due to the awkward packaging (two rows of five tends to get broken up in shipping and handling).
Wonder Bread does sell packages of ten however.

Because Eight is enough, and Ten is just two short, can you handle that package or is it to hot that number for you too.

Its because meat gets sold in pounds. One package of hot dogs is one pound. Bakers don't package in pounds.

Businesses like to make money of you so that you can buy more

I'm sure it's because they somehow make more money off you that way. There can be no other motivation!

because they want you to buy more hotdogs and the companies dont care to be consumer friendly
