why does the package of hotdogs come with ten in it and the buns only have eight?

Answer 1

Yes, they do it on purpose to mess with your head. That way you have to buy extra buns, then you have to run out and buy more dogs, then you have to go out and get more buns again, and so on and so on. Personally, I only eat half the bun with each dog, but invite as many people over as you need to to get it to add up.

Answer 2

This is direct text from a website I found asking this question. "You get ten hot dogs and eight buns per package because meat packers like things that come in pounds and bakers hate things that come in tens."

Answer 3

It's a conspiracy by the hot dog people to make you crazy

Here's my suggestion if it bothers you.

Have 79 people over for hot dogs
buy 8 packages of hot dogs
buy 10 packages of buns
tell everybody there's no seconds
Problem solved.

Answer 4

so that you have to spend more to get another two hotdog buns and then you'll have extra so u buy more hotdogs its a cycle that makes you broke in the end if you fall for it

Answer 5

Usually hot dogs come by the pound. So, if you have smaller dogs, they would be 10 to a pound or 10:1. Just buy bigger dogs that are 8 to a pound.

Answer 6

I don't know where you have been buying hot dogs but the packages I get only have eight.

Answer 7

So you have 2 buns for lunch meat/Tuna for the 2 kids who hate hot dogs. :)

Answer 8

2 for the dog

Answer 9

Well I have to say it doesn't drive me crazy and what I do is that I stack 2 dogs in one bun and eliminate the problem of the xtra dogs.
:) LOL

Answer 10

So you can eat two without the buns.
