Answer 1

Sorry to bust your bubble, but they both come in 8s where I am. Hot dog buns used to come in tens because many hotdogs were sold in 10-1 containers. That means each hotdog was 1/10th pund and you would get a package of ten hotdogs, so you would need ten buns. Hmaburgers were generally sold as 1/4 pounders, or 4-1, which would mean four rolls were needed, but most people by in mulitples of two pounds when buying burgers.

Answer 2

it is based on the total weight of the bread contained in the package not the number of buns!
