I live in Michigan and i have only seen hotdogs sold in packs of 8 as well, even jumbo ones. Footlong hotdogs are sold in packs of 6. And buns are always sold in matching quantities. The only exception is when you buy "party packs" of hotdogs that come in either 22 or 24 depending on which brand you get.

Well, now that I know the industry will not change because we are not complaining enough, I suggest we start a movement to make the bread and meat ratios equal, refusing to buy the larger bun packs, or buying them and then just throwing the extras upon the ground to feed the pigeons. When confronted with herds of extra large pigeons who cannot fly due to their weight, and the extra large pigeon droppings causing a slipping hazard; the industry, thanks to government enforced safety regulations, will then be forced to change the bun package to equal the dog packages, or vice versa. Problem solved.

As an american baker I can give a reason as to why buns are sold in packs of eight. When making hot dog buns and brat buns, we make 3 rows of 8 for hot dogs and 3 rows of 6 for brats, because that's how many will fit on a full size sheet tray. Bakeries are usually very busy so when we look, at a glance, and see rows of 6 or 8 we know whether they are hot dog buns or brat buns.

Buy too many hot dog buns and put them in the freezer. That way, you can just take them out as the need arises. Although they might fall apart a bit... Just make sure to use a plate and you should be fine.

Only the top-sliced style of bun comes in packs of 12 and it is not common everywhere in Canada. I've mostly seen that style of bun in or near Quebec. In many parts of Canada, the side sliced buns (kind of look like a long dinner roll) in packs of 8 are the norm. I only noticed the mismatch issue when I moved to Ontario.

This has never been an issue, just a meme question. Hot dogs are sold in all kinds of different package sizes depending on what you choose to purchase and the same goes for buns. Lots of people eat hotdogs without buns, cut up in mac & cheese, etc. Lots of people eat hot dog buns with other foods. Brats, tuna salad, etc. This just isn't a problem and I've never understood why anyone even talks about it. I'd argue, in fact, that your typical household would still end up with leftover hotdogs or buns just as often if they were both sold in pack sizes of 8.

In Canada, regular hot dogs are in packs of 12 (still about a pound, 450g) and the buns are in 8-packs. Two packs of dogs & 3 packs of buns balances out. It would be nice of supermarkets to offer sale prices on those multiples at the same time, but I've never seen it happen. Jumbo hot dogs in packs of 8 (still 450g) are common, and make a perfect solution to the problem. And now I'm hungry...

Men have nipples because during the embryonic stage the zygote begins as double x chromosome (female) then determination processes in the DNA either leave it (the baby is female) or changes it to xy chromosome (male) so all men started by default as girls until their DNA in the building phase said "no this is a male", hence the nipples.

This actually goes with 12 packs of mountain dew vs mountain dew mini cans. Those tiny cans cost nearly 3-4 times more per ounce vs the larger cans in the 12 packs. Most people see that the little cans are "cheaper" up front vs 12 packs, so they go for the little cans. Even if they just paid way more per ounce.

I usually by my hotdogs in bulk. With the large number of food vacuum equipment out there for use in the home, it makes more sense to buy in bulk. I own a FoodSaver food vacuum, and it was one of the best investments I ever made. You just buy your meat in bulk, then break it down into the sizes you know you're likely to use most, and vacuum seal it. If you do it right, it can last in the freezer for well past a year. In the long run, you can save huge amounts of money, and, if you buy alot all at once, (like enough to completely fill your freezer), you only have to deal with it one time and you're not stuck running to the store every week to buy over priced meat.

I know of something that's sort of similar in the middle ages, although not quite the same: There was sort of an improvised traveller's or hunter's food that was made by grilling a strip of meat, then putting not yet heated bread dough around and heating it over the bonfire until the bread is sort of okay ish to eat, although generally inferior to proper bread. This would not be bread that was given much time to swell, as they didn't carry bread with them because it ruins with time, just flour and a miniscule amount of yeast. Generally it would be the correct size to fit in the mouth, in however long sections were required for one to be a meal, with the amount of meat in the middle varying from just a minimally thin layer of bread around to almost no meat in the middle at all depending on how hunting went. It was believed to make the meat last longer before being spoiled, although I don't know if it really did.

I think some marketing dept. at either Big Meat Co. or Big Bread Co. crunched the numbers and decided the packaging discrepancy resulted in a few more cents of profit per month so the practice became SOP. Where I live we have standard hot dogs in packs of 10, jumbo hot dogs in packs of 8, standard buns in 8’s and jumbo buns 6’s. Since the Jumbo dogs and buns are more recent products and the packaging discrepancy persists, it seems intentional.
