Answer 1

Yes finally I have found the best question anyone ever asked on yahoo answers.lol Very interested to read others answers.

Answer 2

The amount of hotdog buns that come in a package is really irrelevant if you will do one simple thing that will solve this dilemma: instead of buying your hotdogs pre-packaged at the grocery store, go to the DELI DEPARTMENT at the store, OR a local DELI MARKET where you can specify HOW MANY you want! Thus, you can MATCH the number of buns that come in a package. Besides, the QUALITY of the hotdogs you'll get at a Deli will be FAR superior to any old prepackaged-grocery store brand! Hope this will "meat" your expectations!

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council receives hundreds of hot dog related questions each year. While most of these questions are easy for us - the hot dog gurus - to answer, other questions are nearly impossible to answer. Below are some frequently asked questions.

Why are there typically 10 hot dogs per pack and eight buns per bag?

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.

Answer 4

You can buy a package of 8 hot dog buns.
This reminds of the movie Father of the Bride with Steve Martin. He causes a stir in a grocery store because they sold 12 hot dog buns in a package and he only wanted to buy 8 so he opened the package and took out 4 buns. He ends up getting arrested and put in jail.

Answer 5

Yes it would be nice if the Meat packers and the bread makers got together on that one. Write them a letter! Who knows, you might be the initiator of the new size bag of Buns!!

Answer 6

10 hot dogs usually equal one pound...As for the bun dilemma, 8 works because they are easier to keep their shape in the bag and more compact...a 10 is pretty clumsy. >wink< I heard St. Louis, MO is a big 10-pack town. :)

Answer 7

I think they just want you to buy more buns, the jokes on them, I use bread as well.

Answer 8

people making the buns are smart. they make you buy two packs

Answer 9

If you buy "Bunny" buns the count is the same :)

Answer 10

It works like the same people who do the batteries not included B.S. It's to get you to buy more products. And then you do it, don't you? We all do, they run our lives!
