Image is of a hot dog with ketchup and mustard on it. The bun is definitely the kind you get in an 8 pack for $2.18.

Buns on the other hand were made in baking trays that held 8, in 2 groups of 4. (Maybe the 12 pack buns are similar?) Heinz and Wonder both tried to fix / resolve this in ~2021 and now serve both in packs of 10. Hopefully more companies will join in!
