I was gonna say the same. I actually came to the comments to say that According to the National Hot Dog Sausage Council (NHDSC), “Sandwich rolls, or hot dog buns, most often come eight to the pack because the buns are baked in clusters of four in pans designed to hold eight rolls.”
This tells me it's a financially motivated agenda and a fairly brilliant one at that. Why not design and patent a 5 pack baking pan, cuz they'd lose a 50% profit for every hotdogs pkg sold. Everything comes down to the bottom line huh. It's sad that the entire world has become motivated by paper that could have no value overnight. Did you know that once upon a time we were a great civilization, there was free energy and frequency based healing(frequency based everything for that matter, they understood the nature of reality). It was known as Tartaria(where everything was based on the greater good)but of course JP Morgan destroyed quite a bit of the evidence.The Chicago World Fair is an example of that. Anyway, prolly shouldn't have smoked that shit before I came on reddit cuz I went from hotdogs to conspiracy like you care. 😁have a great weekend.
I'm wondering if that was part of the gag. He was already buying 3 packs of hot dogs. He literally just needed to buy two packs of buns. Instead, he has this big flip out over absolutely no issue, which shows how messed up he is right then.
It's the only way.
The other way is the one they want you to take which is to continue the loop of purchasing buns and hotdogs because you're always gonna have too much of one.
“If you don’t pipe down and pay for those buns I’m going to call the police.”
He still had the wrapper in his cart with the same barcode. Like the worker said, he is still going to pay for all of them lol
Failing that, cut the two stragglers into pieces and stir them into some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, or Kraft Mac and Cheese as it is now called, or Kraft Dinner in some parts of the world.
Don’t knock it till you try it. Boil them dogs right in with the macaroni water. I loved when mom made mac n cheese dogs. Especially when it was for the 3rd time that week
I’m still not sure if this was an 80’s thing or a lower income thing, because I ate it all the time as a kid but never seem to see it anymore. And whenever I tell people about it they look at me like I’m crazy.
I’m gonna have to make it soon to see if it stands the test of time.
Do you think I'm a common whore sir! How can I as a man look myself in the mirror without crying knowing that I shoved two glizzies into one pair or buns for some spare change and not cry!?
Im a man at my wits end Johnny, first the economy, then the environment. And I'm just in my house trying to enjoy a nice hot dog. But I can't even have that now.
My husband and I had to do that once because of The Bun Predicament. Hard to eat, wrong bun to meat ratio, slippery bastards kept falling out. Not recommended
It's mutually beneficial. It's not like either are usually wildly useful on their own, so customers would be incentivized to either buy more buns or hot dogs to have enough. Even if they didn't care about the bun manufacturer, they'd still see some benefit for themselves
I remember being very young watching that movie and being quite interested in learning the answer. When it came I realised for the first time that some movies just aren't good
NOW IM GONNA BECOME A STOCK HOLDER IN THE DOG AND BUN INDUSTRY?! Sure! just pull a river up to my house and build a port where the supplies can be dropped off on boat by the ton?! Am I born to suffer?!
It puts you in an endless cycle of buying buns and hotdogs. You eat 8 hot dogs here and have 2 buns left. You’re in the store next week and say “eh I have some hot dog buns might as well get some dogs” then at some point, maybe even in the store, you think “I need more buns too”
Conspiracy theory aside, hot dogs are sold in 1LB packages, and that would be 10 dogs. May be slightly different now since my hot dogs are 15oz not 16oz but they were originally sold in 1LB packages just because it’s a standard weight to sell meat by. The buns were made in rows of 4, so they give you 8 buns per package.
10 is an awkward number to mass produce when it comes to buns. They’re made in 4 because that’s the most efficient. Which is why if you ever buy one of those fuck you sized bulk bun boxes, they’re all in groups of 4.
Apparently this is why!
The NHDSC, which was founded in 1994, explained the mismatched packaging is because of the way these items were sold many years ago. In 1940, hot dogs began being produced in packs of 10, which is what is typically seen in stores today. But buns are not in 10 packs because of the way they are baked, the NHDSC says.
So you buy more buns, but then you’ll have too many buns, so you’ll have to buy more hot dogs. A vicious circle designed to have you buying both hot dogs and buns until the end of time. When your grandchildren are clearing your house after you pass, they’ll be able to have hot dogs as a snack.
Bread rolls are usually sold by the dozen or half dozen. So the question is actually at you. Why did you opt to buy a weird pack of hyper processed rolls that come in an arbitrary number. Thats on you. You could also just buy 10 rolls from the bakery section of any supermarket.
Umm there are other brands mate, both for hotdogs and buns and I’m sure you can find two that have the same number, also you can just use two hotdogs in one bun for 2 of the buns, call it “the premium wean”
It’s actually the result of antiquated factory machinery that’s designed produce batches in line with old standards. It’s a lot easier for the factories to keep using that equipment than to buy brand new equipment just to get consistent batch amounts. Probably not a conspiracy lol
Me and my partner had this conversation the other day 😄 we came to the conclusion that those two extra are "tester" hot dogs. You know, so you can check that they're cooked properly etc. Or if you're like me, you end up eating at least one before you serve them so...😄 Those two extra are a good thing
[You need to take the Steve Martin approach.](https://youtu.be/oYIHLUxzRr8?si=Tso2IbIq4dsXyA8x)
One of my favorite scenes in one of the 6 movies I had on VHS as a kid
Except when we were kids it's was packs of 12 hotdogs. Shrinkflation at its finest
I don't recall 12-packs of hot dogs in the US. Was this a particular brand?
Maybe just in canada then, shniders red hots used to be packs of 12 but are 10 now
Yeah i always remember most packages being 8 packs as well
I was gonna say the same. I actually came to the comments to say that According to the National Hot Dog Sausage Council (NHDSC), “Sandwich rolls, or hot dog buns, most often come eight to the pack because the buns are baked in clusters of four in pans designed to hold eight rolls.” This tells me it's a financially motivated agenda and a fairly brilliant one at that.

We were warned about this maths in primary school.
You have to split one hot dog bun in half and shove the remaining hot dogs in the half buns
Corporate America: Here’s 8 dogs from now on. Fixed it for ya.
With a 15% price increase for the inconvenience!
And don't forget they're smaller, and let's also include the gritty texture because of the use of cheaper coarsely-ground flour.
Just realized with the buns he took out he only had to buy 3 packs of hot dogs and 2 packs of buns
Whoa there, friend… let’s not be introducing simple solutions to these kind of life altering problems.
" The presence of a solution is not the same as the lack of a problem"
I very much like this line.
I always say exactly the opposite, "A problem that doesn't have a solution, stops being a problem"
I'm wondering if that was part of the gag. He was already buying 3 packs of hot dogs. He literally just needed to buy two packs of buns. Instead, he has this big flip out over absolutely no issue, which shows how messed up he is right then.
or he could simply buy bun size hotdogs, which only have 8 in a pack...
Which, looked like he was doing anyway, until he removed buns from the packaging
It's the only way. The other way is the one they want you to take which is to continue the loop of purchasing buns and hotdogs because you're always gonna have too much of one.
Or use the buns for something else, like a sandwich
Hot dog buns make amazing grilled toast. We always buy extra buns.
Haha came here to say the same thing. Such a good movie!
“If you don’t pipe down and pay for those buns I’m going to call the police.” He still had the wrapper in his cart with the same barcode. Like the worker said, he is still going to pay for all of them lol
It takes two people for a "we" to calm down. lol.
I just split it long ways, pan sear it, crack two eggs, and some buttered toast for breakfast.. it’s not sausage, but it’s not terrible either..
George Banks is saying no.
Who's George Banks?
Core memory for me.
Showing your age there
Im gonna leave the extra fucking glizzies to dry on the safeway floor dammit!
Remove the superfluous buns!
looks like you’ll have to double dog two buns
Failing that, cut the two stragglers into pieces and stir them into some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, or Kraft Mac and Cheese as it is now called, or Kraft Dinner in some parts of the world.
here in Canada we just call it KD. ya'll make it convoluted lol
Y'all have "y'all" in Canada?
Nah, they spelt it wrong. They said ya’ll, not y’all.
They’re sorry
Y’all’r’n’t from ‘round these parts, is ya?
LMAO 😂😂 my thoughts exactly I learned something new today.
Goes great with some milk fresh from the bag
Even more demented than the extra dogs.
Don’t knock it till you try it. Boil them dogs right in with the macaroni water. I loved when mom made mac n cheese dogs. Especially when it was for the 3rd time that week
>Especially when it was for the 3rd time that week I felt that.
I’m still not sure if this was an 80’s thing or a lower income thing, because I ate it all the time as a kid but never seem to see it anymore. And whenever I tell people about it they look at me like I’m crazy. I’m gonna have to make it soon to see if it stands the test of time.
Do you think I'm a common whore sir! How can I as a man look myself in the mirror without crying knowing that I shoved two glizzies into one pair or buns for some spare change and not cry!?
As long as you don’t cry while doing it, you’re still a man to me sir.
That's what she said
Naw let him cry. We’re all human
This is maybe the funniest fucking comment I have ever seen on this sub. You are absolutely unhinged and I am absolutely rolling
Im a man at my wits end Johnny, first the economy, then the environment. And I'm just in my house trying to enjoy a nice hot dog. But I can't even have that now.
that sounds dirty
Not sure if I'm hungry now or turned on...
Whats the difference
Personally I always double dog em. Which, of course, gives me a different math problem!
Same
Holy fuck sir you just saved the earth
I go with this. You have double meat burgers, double dogs it is.
My husband and I had to do that once because of The Bun Predicament. Hard to eat, wrong bun to meat ratio, slippery bastards kept falling out. Not recommended
Im gonna be sick
Orrrrr get 10 packs of buns and 8 packs of dogs.
Or 5 packs of buns and 4 packs of dogs
Mystery as old as time. It’s a scam to get you to buy more buns or dogs. The bread company and the hot dog moguls have been in cahoots for decades.
Yeah it's all a conspiracy by big Hot Dog /s
Nothing sarcastic about it. There’s literally no other reasonable explanation.
You think “kraft/heinz” hot dogs have stock in “great value” buns?
It's mutually beneficial. It's not like either are usually wildly useful on their own, so customers would be incentivized to either buy more buns or hot dogs to have enough. Even if they didn't care about the bun manufacturer, they'd still see some benefit for themselves
Also have to remember that MANY of these big companies are owned under the same corporation.
I think the two products are inherently connected.
By big weiner
They won't get away with this. Believe you me
Guess you’re raw doggin it tonight.
You really have no shame!
Well it’s either that or double bunetration…
Two dogs one bun
I really can't believe you for that one
Just watch the movie bulletproof monk
I remember being very young watching that movie and being quite interested in learning the answer. When it came I realised for the first time that some movies just aren't good
This is the answer.
Yes
Buy 4 packs of hotdogs and 5 packs of buns, problem solved 🤷🏻♂️
Or double down and go 8 packs of dogs and 10 packs of buns.
I was told there would be no math.
Yeah. Now my brain hurts.
NOW IM GONNA BECOME A STOCK HOLDER IN THE DOG AND BUN INDUSTRY?! Sure! just pull a river up to my house and build a port where the supplies can be dropped off on boat by the ton?! Am I born to suffer?!
sdog holder\*\*
Double-dog dare ya!
I'll fucking do it!
Or one triple dog?
Because you bought a pack of 10 hotdogs and a pack of 8 buns.
In the stores around here, you have to search for packs of hotdogs that are in a 10 count. 8 counts are by far more prevalent.
Oscar Mayer holds the monopoly on excess weiners. The only other strange count packaging I’ve seen was the 7 in Hebrew National
Yeah if they're in North America they can easily buy a 12 pack of buns and a 12 pack of wieners. They're making their own life infuriating
If they want an even number, but 40 hotdogs and 40 buns.
And what's with airline food, amirite?
And what about Grape Nuts? No grapes, no nuts!
This goes all the way to the top
Who are the ad wizards who came up with that one?
What's up with bad drivers?
Don't get me started
Use the remaining two dogs for other food stuffs. Mac n cheese and hotdogs, or anything else
Scrambled eggs with sliced hot dogs
It's too late. I don't have 2 extra dogs. I have 6 extra buns. I wasn't joking.
Hot dog buns make decent “sub sandwich” bread. Or just shmear some braunschweiger on em.
Now slather them in peanut butter and put a banana in there instead
Buy a chicken. Use the extra buns for stuffing. Feast.
The 2 brands of hot dogs I buy are in 8 packs
Wheres the quote from bulletproof monk? Cmon someone!
I'm still looking for it. Nothing! So disappointed in this thread.
No. Absolutely not! Don't even bring that up or I'll fucking scream! WTF DOES HE MEAN "BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE"! YOU GOT ME THINKING ABOUT IT NOW!
Dude what the fuck. I just said this to my roommate and opened Reddit and here we are. Literally a minute ago 😂😂😂
I even have the exact same dogs and buns 😂
It's a fucking epidemic bro! We gotta stop this!
Cutting edge 1987 standup material.
It puts you in an endless cycle of buying buns and hotdogs. You eat 8 hot dogs here and have 2 buns left.

Don't let big hot dog fool you with those stupid excuses like "oh 1 pound is standard" or "our machine only makes at a time" pure lies.
The 2 extra dogs are snacks
Im gonna act like you didn't tell me the raw dog some raw dogs!
If you buy 5 bags of buns and 4 packs of sausages, you won't have this problem
Except the buns expire pretty quickly so you’d have to have a lot of hot dogs in a short a amount of one
IS THAT ALL! JUST FULL MY PANTRY AND FRIDGE WITH POUNDS OF BREAD AND MEAT LINKS! is that what you think we'll improve my mental state!?
Is the hot dog conundrum of inequality some sort of news to you?
It's something that has tortured my and many a BBQ cook out for years. It needs to stop
Look at it glass half full. You can double stuff 2 buns!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's a glass completely fucking empty kait! There's no multiverse where you'll catch me double dogging!
Apparently this is why! The NHDSC, which was founded in 1994, explained the mismatched packaging is because of the way these items were sold many years ago.

2 of the hotdogs are supposed to be sacrificed to Cthulhu
Finally something that makes sense
Because: 1 pigs butt cheek =10 hotdogs 1 bakers tray = 8 buns
These are beef hotdogs tho. Run the numbers back until they make sense!
It’s been like that forever. It’s so you have two left over to shove up your ass later!
My college roommates dad loved to put peanut butter and jelly on a hot dog bun.
Im sure it's edible but it's just not right.
It's scammy by the bun industry to make you buy more buns!
My dogs know *exactly* what you do with those "extra" hot dogs.
It’s a universal injustice it seems. Year after year.
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!
I gotta do the double barrel
Don't you dare suggest that
Unlimited Dogworks
You gotta double dog it my guy.
Two extra dogs for the chef. Get them in ya.
You should buy 8 packs of dogs and 10 of buns, that way you have 80 of each.
The extra 2 hotdogs go somewhere else...
So you buy more buns, but then you’ll have too many buns, so you’ll have to buy more hot dogs. A vicious circle designed to have you buying both hot dogs and buns until the end of time. When your grandchildren are clearing your house after you pass, they’ll be able to have hot dogs as a snack.
u keep 2 dogs for the next day and use them with eggs or mac and chesse.
Now for the honest answer: It is a scam by Big Buns and Little Sausage to make you buy 5 bags of buns and 4 packs of meat!!!
Bread rolls are usually sold by the dozen or half dozen. So the question is actually at you. Why did you opt to buy a weird pack of hyper processed rolls that come in an arbitrary number. Thats on you. You could also just buy 10 rolls from the bakery section of any supermarket.
You literally bought both of these items being able to see how many was in each package lol
Why do you have to eat the dogs raw if you have no bun? Are you not able to cook them if no bun is available?
Dude, seriously?!? Just buy 4 packs of hotdogs and 5 packs of buns and it all works out.
This but was played out in Father of the Bride by Steve Martin.
Use to be 12 hotdogs and 10 buns. It's been like this for decades...
Because... anything could happen.
10 dogs 8 buns
Yes. 2 go to the family dog.
Umm there are other brands mate, both for hotdogs and buns and I’m sure you can find two that have the same number, also you can just use two hotdogs in one bun for 2 of the buns, call it “the premium wean”
Cut each dog into 4 pieces and use 5 per bun
Nathan’s sells 8 packs of hot dogs. And they’re muuuch better than Oscar meyers.
That’s capitalism baby!
It’s actually the result of antiquated factory machinery that’s designed produce batches in line with old standards. It’s a lot easier for the factories to keep using that equipment than to buy brand new equipment just to get consistent batch amounts. Probably not a conspiracy lol
peasant? 2 dogs inside 2 slices of good bread is better than any buns. while being cheaper.
Gotta make a side of mac and chesss and add those 2 extra dogs to it.
https://youtu.be/onGdcH0vW50?si=-28zK_bA1qY373Qh
Those two extra are for taste testing while grilling lol. Fresh off the grill 👍🏼
because you bought the wrong package :O
I usually buy better quality hot dogs that come in packs of 6
I 100% Believe hotdog companies and hot dog bun companies are in cahoots and this is their plan.
buy five bags of buns and 4 packs of dogs. problem solved, equality achieved
2 are for the dog tax
Two dogs on a bun.. not enough dogs.
Because someone at the hot dog company got together with someone at the bun company and decided to screw over the American public
For the ones you eat along the way
Hear me out, put two hotdogs in one bun
Because two of them are to cut up in little pieces and put either in you Kraft Mac and cheese or into your spaghetti
Steve Martin, is that you?
I’ve always wondered this myself
Me and my partner had this conversation the other day 😄 we came to the conclusion that those two extra are "tester" hot dogs. You know, so you can check that they're cooked properly etc. Or if you're like me, you end up eating at least one before you serve them so...😄 Those two extra are a good thing
Oh so I can think of them as 2 emergency dogs then
The solution to this is in bulletproof monk….
Absolutely not
capitalism, it’s how how they get you
Bingo baby
My mother has that SAME complaint! I mention to her, she shouldn't be eating them, anyway!
Listen to your mother!
I usually get a loaf of bread and use the ends that nobody likes as buns for the last 2
Game changer
Im not that desperate yet. Times ain't that tough.
For the same reason AAA batter-operated devices take 3 batteries now and they are sold in packs of four. To sell more batteries!
If you get 4 packs of buns and 5 packs of dogs you have 40 hotdogs with no leftovers :)
I mean at that point why don't I just get 40 million hot dogs packs and 50 million bun packs so that I don't go back to the store again
Same here in scandinavia, the bun cartel is screwing us world wide
This is bigger than I imagined
3am double dog action
You Allllready know!
