Heinz Petitions To Have Same Number Of Hot Dogs And Buns

It’s really silly that hot dogs come in packs of 10, but a bag of hot dog buns have 8.

Heinz Canada just launched a petition on Change.org to force companies to sell hot dogs and buns in EQUAL AMOUNTS. They think 10 should be the new standard for both.
For what it’s worth, there IS a reason behind the mismatch.  Hot dog companies started selling them in ten-packs in the 1940s, just because it’s a round number. But bun companies sell eight-packs because the standard pan they’ve always baked them in fits four buns per row. These days, they also have pans that fit five though.  So there’s no good reason THAT can’t be the new modern standard.
