The cynical answer of course is that it's a conspiracy for the bun people to make more money. I would never say this theory is without merit given the way our world works, but a less cynical answer would be that hot dogs, like pretty much all meat products, are sold by weight. Depending on the size of the individual dogs, you would get between 8-10 dogs per package. Bakers on the other hand tend to deal in terms of dozen, and rarely in weight when it comes to bread. So therefore buns are traditionally sold in 6 or 12 counts. Of course, a quick look around a big supermarket these days will show buns in all different assortments, from 6 to 12.

those men are loopy. frequently i does not answer with all the others already there yet they're incorrect. warm canines are available 10 (in addition they arrive in 6,8, 12) because of the fact they're bought by the pound so the beef business enterprise's make ten to the pound or 8 to the pound or maybe 12 to the pound warm canines. Buns are from the baking marketplace (for sure) and are based on the dozen (or fractions of a dozen) count selection. which you will detect a dozen buns or extra many times 8 buns. you additionally can discover 6 buns and that i understand i've got considered 4 buns (regionally made) to the kit. it particularly is the respond.

The perversity of marketing. Sales and Marketing decide on a price point for a product. Then they match the product to the price. Also, buns used to come in dozens and so are often sold in parts of a dozen. Sausages were sold by weight, not count, so the hot dog count is arbitrary.
