The meat is most easily sold by wieght and 8 hot dogs works out to a convenient weight.

Bakeries, though, churn out these bread products in such large quantities that they save money by streamlining, and to package buns in sizes of eight they would have to make an entirely new bag size from what they sell other products in, like hamburger buns.

This way, they can use the same bags for different products, and only change the print.

I think it's the other way around. Regardless, it's a marketing tool. The company's might have a business agreement so by buying another hotdog pack or hotdog roll to make up for the lacking number you need to buy more of the other product and it's just a viscious cycle that never ends.

Have you ever had a bag of mass produced hot dog buns that never went bad? Well my old boyfriend did, they were still soft after a month sitting on top of his fridge. It was eerie. But it made us think about the 8 to 10 ratio, you only have to buy 5 packs of hot dogs and 4 packs of buns to make it all work out.

Maybe they put in the extras because their slicing machines aren't always good and sometimes you tear the bun to shreds getting it open. Now, we don't want to eat messy looking food, do we? So I'm thinking that you're buying the extra 2 to toss away because of defects.

It's a conspiracy.

i'm no longer confident about the position you stay (asker) yet regionally the position I stay there is programs of warm canines and buns in both sizes, in 8 and 10 packs. mainly however? it truly is about getting you to purchase more effective product because agencies _Know_ for a incontrovertible certainty that almost no man or woman learns a thanks to do _least trouble-free denominators_ in grade college, the position it is taught too early for toddlers to both %. up or see the smart use of it. if you're stuck with warm canines 8 at a time with 10 rolls to a %.? purchase 3 packs of warm canines, 2 packs of rolls and plan to make _four_ warm canines with _double dogs_ (2 franks to at least one roll). if you're stuck with warm canines 10 at a time and eight rolls to a %.? similar deal, purely reversed: 2 packs of warm canines, 3 packs of rolls, and also you'll assume to have 4 rolls left over--which isn't a foul effect because rolls are oftentimes more less expensive than franks. because really, the purely effect that leads to no waste is to purchase sufficient of each and every to make _40_ warm canines at a time. no man or woman desires that a lot.

It's the other way around, They both used to come in packs of ten but then the bun companies started putting them out in packs of eight because the average family had 4 members who ate two hot dogs per sitting (i guess they did a lot of research). the bun companies updated but the hot dog companies never did.

So that the buns don't get wasted. Some kids don't like the buns and just want the hotdog. LOL Just a guess.

Aren't hot dog rolls in packs of 8 and hot dogs in packs of 10?

I have wondered this myself. How many packages of hot dogs and buns do you need to purchase to have the same amount?

Well like previous revenue...

But also because a bun can be mulitpurpose you dont HAVE to put a hot dog in it....
