Y do hotdogs come in packs of 10 but buns come in packs of eight?

Question

I know...do you? Sad thing is I actually did a research paper in college for this one. Ther REALLY is a reason. It's not a way that they "GET YA".

Answer 1

1. Meat is generally sold by the pound, buns are sold by the dozen (or multiples of three and four) making nice compact packages. There are 10 hot dogs to the pound (8 for jumbo hots). 2. Manufacturer changes are a pain and can be expensive to change. 3. The situation has been allowed to continue because the people meekly submit to it. Less than 1 percent even complain about it.
4. Some manufacturers sell buns and hot dogs in packages of different sizes depending on market dictates but they are in the minority.

Answer 2

Because the hot dog company assumes that 2 hotdogs will be too burned on the grill to eat.

or when you are not looking your kids will eat at least 2 raw hot dogs before they make it to the grill

Answer 3

A lot of times your hot dog falls off when you are cooking it so you have to throw it away so if you lose a couple of hot dogs you still have enough for the 8 buns.

Answer 4

At my house the Saint Bernard gets two and she prefers them without the bun

Answer 5

so if you burn 2 hotdogs, you'll have extra or you could eat the 2 other hotdogs without the bun

Answer 6

IN CASE YOU DROP ANY HOTDOG OR YOU WANT TO EAT IT. YOU KNOW ACTUALLY THERE'S SOME BUNS THAT COME IN PACKS OF 8

Answer 7

It's the mystery of the ages.
