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.

    They only sell buns in 12 packs around here, but the dogs only come in 8 packs. Why? Does Big Hot Dog think it will make people buy two dozen at once?

      Allegedly (found by a quick search), hot dogs were sold by the pound and therefore were sold in packs for 10 (10×1.6oz).

      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!
