Hebrew Nation sells packages of 7

someone should have to account for this inequity!

They’re working on a constitutional amendment in Congress…

For what it’s worth: Supposedly, the inequality has to do with how meat sellers and bakers like to sell their wares. More here: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/560/why-do-hot-dogs-come-10-to-a-pack-while-buns-are-8-to-a-pack

A classic scene in Steve Martin’s ‘Father of the Bride’…

I’ll take 10 bags of buns and 8 bags of hot dogs, please.

The man is guilty!

You tell him!

Hey it is the only place in life we get to use the lowest common denominator that we all had to learn in grade school see the industry is only trying to make that useless math work for something…

Why is it the bun-man’s fault? ….I think it’s the hot dog guy who should have to answer for this.

“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.”

Get better hot dogs that come in packages of 8.

Its a conspiracy. They put more buns in bags then hotdogs so we buy more hotdogs…but then we have to buy more buns….then more hotdogs…and so on…its a viscous cicle

Thing is, the way buns are manufactured, opposed-symmetrically, they HAVE to be in packages of quadratic progression, or divisible by same. 2481632……….

Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey anyone?

if he buys 5 pks of buns & 4 pks of dogs he’ll be right on

Its better than the other way around.

Then get an equivillant of 40!
