very simple. they know u want buns for the hotdogs so if u have 2 xtra hotdogs and no more buns then chances are some people will go out and buy more buns cuz u cant buy just 2 more so they buy 8 then u have six left over and gotta buy more dogs and the cycle continues unless u are smart and just use regular bread lol

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.

Take a look next time you go to the grocery store. Most companies are now only putting 8 buns in the package, though they charge us the same price they did when there were 10 included.

It's usually the opposite.
10 hotdogs are in a pound and the trays to cook buns are groups of four

there are times when splitiing/opening a hot dog bun you open too far and the bun breaks apart. No longer the greatest to serve a hot dog. Two extra for errors.

so you can pay more for the dogs and less for the buns....just another way to make people pay more of some sort

In the US, I noticed too. In Canada, they mostly all come in 12.

It's a conspiracy to get you to make 80 hot dogs.

I believe the answer can be found in the movie, "Bulletproof monk".
