Why is it that Hot dogs comes in packages of 10 when the buns come in packages of 8 and 12?

world peace is found in the answer to your question.

well that way you have to buy 8 packages of hot dogs, and 10 (8 in a pack) packages of hot dog buns or 6 packages of hot dogs and 5 (12 in a pack) hot dog buns before it all evens out. that way you have to buy more. smart marketing technique.

It has to do with the size of the packaging. Hebrew National comes in packages of 7. Why? Because a package of 8 would be too unstable to ship in grocery containers. Nathan's dogs come in packages of 8 because they've figured out how to make it stable.

That way, you'll have to buy 5 packages of hotdogs and 4 or 6 packages of buns to make them come out even..

That don't happen here, in Michigan. Koagel hot dogs are 8 to a pack just like hot dog buns. Besides that they are the only hot dogs that i will eat the other brands are GROSS!!!

the 2 extras hot dogs is for the dog they dont like the buns to much.

10 hot dogs equal one pound.

Sandwich rolls were always sold in clusters of eight. The pans to bake hot dog buns were two sets of four

It's all a cruel way to get you to spend more money.opps i got 2 morfe buns left need more hotdogs whoa i got 4 more hot dogs need more buns

Steve Martin asked that question once too...it's a mystery ;)

I usually use the extra buns to make tuna sandwiches.

It is a conspiracy by math teachers to make us buy enough packages of each product for the sum of the products to be equal.
