Ah, one of the great mysteries of the universe. You would think the makers of these two inherently linked items would collaborate on this. These days, manufacturers are starting to offer different quantities of hot dogs per pack and bakers are breaking out of the eight-to-the-pack mold and offering 10 and even 12 packs of buns. However, this is the exception to the rule.
When hot dog buns were introduced, hot dogs were sold in varying quantities at the butcher shop. Not until 1940 were hot dogs packaged the way we currently see them in the grocery store. When manufacturers began packaging hot dogs, they chose the 10 to the pack formula. Today hot dogs are sold most often in eight or ten to the pound packs, but some are sold other quantities as well.
Sandwich rolls, or hot dog buns, most often come eight to the pack because the buns are baked in clusters of four in pans designed to hold eight rolls. While baking pans now come in configurations that allow baking 10 and even 12 at a time, the eight roll pan remains the most popular.
However, to save you from the bread aisle arithmetic anxiety, you need to purchase five bags of eight-to-the-pack buns and four 10-to-the-pack hot dogs to break even.

So that you have to buy 5 packs of buns and 4 packs of hot dogs to come out even.
The bun and weiner manufacturers are in cahoots with each other!

Not to worry. Buy ten packs of buns and eight packages of dogs, and you'll come out even. See, easily solved!!!

The reason for that is sometimes when you open the bun it falls apart - thus you have an extra one ( cuz it sucks when the buns falls apart!)

So you have to buy twice as many buns to fulfill your hot dog needs! Greedy bun sellers.
