The greatest mystery of the modern world!!

This is insane. Ludicrous. Inexplicable and nonsensical.

Ready??

~why do hot dogs come in a pack of 10, and buns come in a pack of 8????~

It's a scam perpetrated by the bun makers. 27
It's the government trying to keep us down. 5
The extra 2 wieners are the ones the dog will inevitably snatch. 8
2 extra for masturbation aids? 17
I don't know, but man, that's one helluva mystery. 9

    Because back in 1857, the Illuminati staged a scheme to get people to buy twice as much bread as they needed. Ever wonder why hotdog buns only come in multiples of four? Because the Illuminati believe that anyone with an IQ over 109 should have four kids.

      Every grocery store with a checkered floor is Illuminati owned and controlled.

      …I wish I were making up the checkered floor thing, but there are actually people who claim that if a building has a black and white checkered floor, that means it's connected to the Freemasons, and therefore the Illuminati. I particularly enjoy this because my entire house has black and white checkered floors.

    It FORCES people to buy 8 packs of 10 hot dogs, and 10 packs of 8 buns, to achieve an equal proportion...the bastards...

      Four packs of ten hot dogs and five packs of eight buns works too, though. :)

    Ten buns means it must be 2 rows of 5, which doesn't always work in a bakers oven. The 3X4 rectangle is more convenient and fits perfectly.
    Bakers therefore sell 2X4 of the buns.

    Hot dogs are made differently and do not have the limitations of the bakers oven space.

    I hope that's finally answered for you.

    By the way if you can now work out how a bakers dozen fits in the oven you'll get a medal.

    • What does an oven or pan have to do with how many they end up putting in a package though?

    Wait...

    Aren't hot dogs the sausage and bun combined?

    Hot dogs aren't the sausages... A sausage is a sausage. It's the magical addition of the bread that completes the cuisine. Am I right or am I right?

    Sausage + Bun = Hot Dog.
    Hot Dog + Bun = A Hot Dog with 2 buns. Excessive bread involved if you ask me.

      You are technically right, but if someone says a hot dog and a bun when know what they mean.

      Not really. A burger without a bun is still a burger, a hot dog without a bun is still a hot dog. Y'know?

        Yeah I think there's cultural confusion on my part.

        Here in the UK a hot dog = a sausage in a bun, the complete package. We don't call the sausages themselves hot dogs :)

        No we don't have corndogs here. Maybe it's because I'm British.

        Over here a Hot Dog is the bun + sausage (typically a frankfurter).

        Maybe where you are a Hot Dog is the bun + sausage, but also just the sausage?

        Cultural difference perhaps :/

    I don't know where you shop, but when I used to eat hot dogs they came in a pack of 8 and the buns also came in a pack of 8. I wouldn't touch a hot dog now unless you put a condom on it.

    Because only 4/5 of people enjoy their hot dogs with a bun.... Or because of the illuminati, like Neuroneptunian said.

    Hot dogs are Bologna sausages.
