10 Hot Dogs 8 Buns

*If you've ever wondered why there are 10 hot dogs in a pack but only eight buns, well, guess what? It all comes down to the weight of the package. Yes, you lot gon' learn today! 🙂

Per Reader's Assimilate , "hot dogs are sold by the pound, and standard-sized hot dogs sold in stores weigh 1.6 ounces, so of grade, ten is the perfect number for a package."

This trend reportedly started in 1940 and continues today.

When it comes to buns, it's not a weight consequence merely the baking process.

According to the National Hot Domestic 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 agree eight rolls."

And there yous have it.

Meanwhile, July is officially National Hot Dog Month and "Additive King" Heinz has kicked off the Heinz Hot Domestic dog Pact which calls on Weiner lovers to sign a petition calling on big bun companies to match the number of hot dogs by releasing 10 buns per package. Go the deets hither.
