It has to do with the "grociers dozen". (Though I've never seen a pack of rolls come in five - save that one, it'll be worth some cash one day: e-bay, gotta love it.) Anywho.. worry not. The food industry isn't conspiring against us. They're just not working together. The bakers package their food according to how their made. Example: Hamburger rolls are generally made in batches of four or six, so when they sell, they either sell in six, eight or twelve. On the other hand, the meat grociers package and sell by weight. So it's not that they're working together to work against us, unfortunately it's just that they're Not working together which in turn works against us. But c'est la vie, eh?

Where do you live, Most hamburger roll packs come in even numbers like 4 or 8, unless somebody took a bun out at the grocery store. Did all the packs have seven?

For the same reason that nuts and bolts come in odd numbers like 7. To make more money. It makes you buy more than you need.
