This has bugged me since I was a kid.  Why do hot dogs come in a ten pack, while their buns come in an 8 pack?  I am sure every ordinary American has noticed this.  You go to the grocery store, and you grab your 10 hot dogs.  Then you walk over to the buns, and grab…one (8 buns) or two (16 buns) bags.  Huge dilemma.  Then at home, one of two disasters strikes.  One, you want a second hot dog and you feel lucky to find one, but there are no more buns.  Two, at the end of a barbeque, you want another hotdog, but you are left with 6 unused buns.  

Is there some kind of rhyme and reason to this?  Is there a conflict between butchers and bakers?  Has no one noticed?  Is this some kind of corporate decision where they can sell more dogs or buns, because this makes people waste food? 

Hot Dog and Bun Ratio needs some rebalancing!

Are you calling for some kind of international standardization for hot dogs and buns? Good luck. Maybe we can have world peace while we're at it.

The extra two dogs are to account for dropped/burned dogs. You didn't know about the 20% rule for hot dogs? Come on now.

What the frick?! No, I didn't know about this mysterious coefficient.

Who throws away a dropped dog anyways? You just put it back on the grill!!

mental note: do not attend barbeque at smitt's place.

The extra dogs are for those who eat raw dogs while waiting for the cooked ones, also to toss to the family pet ( Dog ) as he sits by the grill licking his chops as he waits for something to drop. Bologna sticks is what I call them.
