Why do hot dogs come in a package of 8 when buns come in a package of 12?

Well, though they TEND to do this, they don't always. You can easily find hot dogs that are thinner, and come 10 to a package instead of 8. Buns usually come in either 8-packs or 12-packs.

Most commonly, people tend to ask why hot dogs come 10 to a pack, and buns come 8 to a pack. So your question seems a little unusual. I would recommend that you just buy the thicker hot dogs that come 8 to a pack, and look for buns that come 8 to a pack, and call it a day.

But the REASON why the packaging is different has to do with the difference between butchers and bakers. Butchers tend to think in pounds - most often the hot dogs are in the size which would make 10 hot dogs equal 1 pound. If they're thicker "jumbo" hot dogs, they may come 8 to a pound.

Check the weight on your hot dog package - most likely you're holding a pound of meat. Bakers tend to think about the way things stack. Two rows of 4 hot dog buns makes a fairly even, stackable, rectangular package.

Bakers like numbers like 8 and 12, because their product stacks better, and they tend to hate the number 10, which doesn't give them many options - it either stacks in 2 rows of 5 or 1 row of 10, and that's it. For the best explanation I've seen on this, check out the Straight Dope column below.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
