The answer is obvious.

Buns use the English measuring system and hot dogs use metric. ;-D

Believe or not, I actually have a degree in Food Technology. This same question was batted around back then and we were told that WonderBread (or it may have been Rainbow bread) had done a marketing study to find out if they should put the same number of buns in a package as hot dogs. Apparently they found out that people actually liked having extra buns so they continue to package them that way. I can’t verify if this is true, but you have to think that from a sales point of view, it is advantageous because you have to buy more packages to get the right number.

Terry would make a problem out of nothing…how about just buying a Ballpark Frank. They taste better and come in a pack of 8.

BTW, I found the perfect item for my little green friend. Its called the Mexican Hotdog. Big beef frank, wrapped in bacon and deep fried. Come on down for a visit and I’ll buy you one at Big Daddy’s Burger Bar.

It becomes even more complicated when I buy brats (hotdogs are a failure by comparison). The brats always come in packs of 6. So, to get the right amount of buns and brats, I need to get four packs of brats and three packs of buns.

I guess I could do one pack of dogs, one pack of brats, and two packs of buns, but honestly, who wants a hot dog when a brat is available?

For the record, the wheat buns are best.
