Why do hot dogs come in packages of 8, and hot dog buns come in packages of 6?
Because when they first started selling hot dogs, they did not come in a bun. The vendor supplied you with a glove so you wouldn’t burn your hands. Many patrons left and never returned the glove. The vendors then started putting the hot dogs in a roll so you wouldn’t burn your hand, you didn’t have to return anything as the roll was eatable. At that time, sausages were already being sold by the pound in a store, ten to a pound. The rolls were already ebing sold a dozen (12) to a pack. Thus is the reason why sausages and rolls are sold in different numbers per package.
