    hotdog to bun ratio.

    why are dogs sold in 10's, and buns sold in 8's?

    anyone have an answer?

    Oscar Mayer Bun-Length dogs come in packs of eight.



    Hebrew National dogs (which are THE BOMB) come in packs of seven. Talk about perpetuation of an old stereotype!

    I used to buy Oscar Mayer hot dogs but I noticed something different about it. It tastes awful now. It's sweeter and denser. The coloring is darker. I used to love it with corn or noodles but I can't stand it anymore. It's like new Coke or something.

    I like Costco hot dogs now street vendor ones.

    hot dogs are sold by weight - usually a pound.
    You used to be able to pick up a 10 pack of buns in STL, I dunno if you still can.

    If I am making my own hot dogs, I almost always buy National Hebrew or Nathan's. However, if i'm on the streets of NYC it's impossible for me to turn down a couple Sabrett's hot dogs =)

    As far as a response to the hot dogs vs. buns question...it's all marketing. that's what i say.
