hate to tell you mate but his problem wars eradicated in the USA in the 1980's. 8 and 8 have been the standard for almost 40 years, please cruise across that pond just once before you try to speak intelligently about our culture.
I've never head this issue, the brands of hot dogs I buy (BarS and BallPark) both come in packs of 8 and pretty much all standard brands of buns in Kroger/Walmart/Safeway/Albertsons all also come in packs of 8.
@@THEMystifiedRockstar hmm, I live in EU and where I shop the buns come in 8 packs but sausages (bratwurst or frankfurter) come in 6 per jar. Usually I buy 2 jars and eat double sausage hotdogs, the sausages per se are useful, the buns are not, so my aim is to finish the buns.
Dr.StickFigure you forgot to mention that the only way to properly activate the antioxidants within the hotdogs is to slather them in bacon grease and a mayonnaise/lard mixture. otherwise the hotdogs health benefits won't be noticed unless combined with a strict potato chip and easy cheese diet.

Subject, Can you all make a video about talcum powder?, The history, The origin, And what that stuff is made of?? Just wondering??, Thanks again for all the great videos!!, Keep it classy!!
In Canada it is less of an issue as packs of hotdogs are generally 12 count for standard packs and 8 count for jumbo hot dogs. The buns are sold in 8 packs for the roll style buns and 12 for the top sliced New England style.
My current theories on this topic: -you can eat a sausage out of the package while the rest are cooking (eg: give one to your pet as a treat, etc) something as a kid I have participated in -not everyone wants the bun (eg: picky eaters) -you can lose one to gravity and not have spare buns (buns are unlikely to suffer from this event)
I remember this issue happening a lot more when I was younger... with 12-packs of buns and 8 hot dogs. I've found recently that most packs of buns have been coming with 8 buns in them now. So for us, the problem has solved itself.
I don't understand this title. Where I shop in Houston, Texas, Wal-Mart, Kroger's, Sam's, Target, H-E-B, and Whole Foods, all carry Hot Dogs and HD Buns *both* in packs of 8. Varying brands may have more or less of each, but generally they're both 8 in a pack.
Yep, same here, I've live in Louisiana, Washington state, and spent time in Texas and Colorado as well,and I rarely if ever even see 10 packs of hotdogs, and it's usually some weird, expensive vegetarian hotdogs or something. All major brands of both dogs and buns seem to come in 8 packs....
Clinton Johnson Unless they're Larsen hotdogs. Or BBQ. Larsen sells like, 16 to a pound, BBQ dogs tend to be 8 to a pound. Then there's juicy jumbos with their 6/lb approach.
Yeah hotdogs in 12 packs, but around here (also Canadian) the 8 pack of buns go on sale much more frequently than the 12 packs and not all companies produce the 12 packs mostly just the larger companies. Never seen a 10 pack of hotdogs though.
This was a big thing when I was younger but more & more, hot dogs are being packaged in groups of eight. I would never buy hot dogs because I hated having 2 extras but now I don't mind getting them. Last week I had some friends over and we decided to grill up some dogs. At one point someone walked by and grabbed one and ate it without a bun.....my head almost exploded!!!!
In grade school I tried to argue with a teacher that the word "because" was a valid answer all by itself. I might have won if I'd been able to share this video.
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.
When I was a kid, we only had the 10 hot dogs/8 buns arrangement available in the supermarkets. Sometime in the 90s/00s, you could find bun length hot dogs in packs of 8, which struck me as perfect. Sadly, I developed gluten intolerance not that long afterward, but it was nice while it lasted.
Why not? Before plastic packaging, they were sold in wax paper parcels. I'd say that a can is a bit more sanitary than what used to be. Besides...what canned meat do you buy for emergencies? Sardines, Tuna, Deviled Ham, canned chicken? It's all the same principle.
I live in the UK and wouldn't buy canned hotdog when one can buy frankfurters in plastic much cheaper. Canned is for stuff that needs to be preserved for potentially long periods.
"More on this in an upcoming video." Three years it took, but my man delivers. *edit* Almost the same video, though. No hard feelings. Can't be easy to produce 74 different channels without repeating yourself once in a while.
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.
This was my favorite question to ask my high school math teacher when she would ask if there ANY questions. I did it purely to annoy her. I feel like I should forward this video to her and say "See somebody could answer my question."
@@lysander9957 I'm jewish, but I live in a small area. The only kosher hotdogs (by any definition) are Hebrew Nationals... and the stores only stock the 8 packs, if any at all. Im not saying you're wrong. I've just never bought ANY hotdogs in anything but 8 packs, outside of bulk places like BJs or Sams Club. I had no idea that hotdogs outside of multiples of 8 were a thing until today.
As a rural and impoverished child, our hotdogs and hamburger buns were "loaf bread"......if and when we had hamburgers or hotdogs. As a fifty three year old Man, I continue to use loaf bread.
Years ago I worked in the corporate lab for a flour milling company. We did test baking on a daily basis to make sure the flour was preforming exactly as the customer expected. There I became aware of a piece of equipment called a cluster slicer. If you are working with a cluster slicer, 8s and 12s are a lot easier to use while packaging than multiples of 5.
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.
Easy fix for this: Go to Walmart. Buy three packs of the Walmart brand buns. Head over to the hot dog section. Pick up the 3 lb pack of hot dogs. 3 lbs of hot dogs equals 24 hot dogs.
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.
Here in South Africa, hot dogs (we call them Vienna Sausages) are sold in pack of 30 (yes, you did read that correctly) and Hot dog buns are sold, (often freshly baked) by the dozen
I've lived in Canada my whole life, and have still gotten 10 pack weiners and 8 pack buns. even bigger dick move if you get juicy jumbos and get screwed with 5 dogs and 8 buns lol
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.
I was just re-reading Dresden Files and got to the part when Harry sarcastically asks this question, and suddenly this video! Turns out the answer really does boil down to "Because reasons"
The most popular hot dog packs for my country is either 8 pack (normal/jumbo) and 20 pack (jumbo (24 for normal)). Hot dog buns come in 8 but 10 packs are sold in a popular bakery that sells the 10 for cheaper than your standard 8 pack.
So, I figured it out, why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog. -Bulletproof Monk 2003
Ooh! This is such an infuriating problem! I have asked this question to my husband for more years than I can remember. I think it's just a joint ploy by the hot dog companies & the hot dog bun companies to get you to buy more products until the numbers even out!🤬 Thank you for addressing this eventhough it won't change anything.
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...
frank is a frankfurter a german originated style of hotdog/sausage typically healthier sort of in my opinion due to them containing only pork well they should as normal hotdogs are mashed with poultry and game and such other things.
Around here they sell hot dog buns in packs of 6 or 12 while hot dogs come in packs of 8, 16 or 32. You used to be able to buy hot dogs by the gram in grocery stores that had an in-store butcher but nobody does that anymore but the high-end specialty meat shops. :(
jesus christ this video : hotdogs are sold by weight so selling 10 makes it even for oz. and bakers tend to make batches of bread by 4 because of machinery and packaging
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.
In Southern Africa, we usually buy buns by number. You go to the bakery counter and ask for x amount of whatever bun you want and they put it in a paper bag & price it for you.
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.
Here in Germany, hot dogs are sold both in jars or cans, depends on the brand you choose, with the amount of six usually. Hot dog buns are sold in packs of four.🙁☹
Hot dog buns are a waste of money. Just use sliced bread. It's wayyyyy cheaper, taste the same as hot dogs (just looks different) and can be used to prepare things other than just hot dogs.
In Canada they match. Most hot dog packages here have 12 sausages and the traditional bun package contains 12 buns. You can buy packs of 8 jumbo dogs and packs of 8 buns. Never had an issue in my life.
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 am 65 years old and have been eating HOT DOGS for probably 63 of those years and I worked in the Retail food industry for 40 years and --- I have never seen (until very recently -- like 2010) hot dogs or buns sold in anything but 12 packs and the only reason any changes were made, were price points or affordability. There is a price that consumers are willing to spend on an item and because the packagers/manufacturers found that they could not profitably continue to offer this junk meat food item for a particular price without compromising the size of the serving, they decided to put fewer dogs in each package thus allowing them to continue the acceptable price point and the bakeries have changed to 4,6,8, 10 or 12 buns so the combination of package numbers can be purchased to match the number of dogs in any given pack -- but happily during the past few years the price received by the producer for their product on the hoof has apparently gone up (according to the packing plants{who I don't believe}) so the price point no longer means anything as evidenced by the much HIGHER PRICES and MUCH LOWER QUALITY in todays dogs.
In a lot of supermarkets in Australia, you can buy as few or as many hot dogs as you want from the deli section of the supermarket. Problem solved! Also the buns generally come in packs of 6 here unless you go to a bakery, where you can generally buy as many or as few buns as you want.
I have not seen anything other than 8 packs of hot dogs in years. Only exceptions to that are very large or long hot dogs which can come in smaller or larger packs respectively. Right now I have about 6 packs of hot dogs(nitrate free) from 3 different companies in the freezer and all are 8 packs.
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.
So, I figured it out, why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog. ~Kar
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.
I agree, however I must applaud the depth of research undertaken to answer a question about such a trivial inconsistency that can only irritate the most OCD of hot dog eaters.
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.
