Why are hot dogs sold in packs of 10 and hot dog buns sold in packs of 8?

Do you think it's intentional or just bad planning?

Update:

And the question was asked on Animaniacs long before the movie Bulletproof Monk existed. So there!

    I find packs of 8 dogs... and packs of 10 buns... depends on your store and who sells it. Of course you can buy more of each... ;)

    The dogs of 8... are turkey dogs usually... which means I can eat 4 of them to one all beef dog.

    two extra buns as spare in case you drop or burn some of the buns or for your guests that don't eat meat, just give them buns with catsup, mustard or relish!!!!
