Why do hot dogs come 8 to a pack and buns have 10?

And how many packs of each do you have to buy before you have equal amounts of both?

Update:

Bakery ones are the best and they were in 8`s. but the grocery sells them in 10`s. why?

Update 2:

thanks, I was always confused about this and yes I am blonde. you gave me some good answers.

    food products are sold by the pound....it's a marketing

    thing for the producers of these products...thats why if you buy huge hot dogs, they come 6 to a pack and the small skinny ones can come up to 10 per pack...it all has to do with cost..

    and profits..same with bread..the thinner sandwhich type has more slices than the regular sliced bread...it has to do with weight...

    Buy the jumbo hot dogs, they are 8 to a pack.

    Or just buy the 10, don't you ever eat a hot dog without the bun?

    10 packaged of hot dogs and 8 packages of buns.

    Very good question, all though I have no idea why they sell them like that.

    I use to work in a bakery & they packages buns in 8's 'cuz they fit best that way.

    Probably just incase one or two buns fall apart... you always have 2 more buns for backup.
