Hot Dogs 10 to a Pack, Hot Dog Buns 8 to a Pack? NOT ANY MORE!

As the old joke goes, "Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 and hot dog buns in packs of 8?"

For years, I thought it was a giant conspiracy by the hot dog marketing people, meeting secretly behind giant vats of relish and mustard. The Wiener Illumnati knew that when we got to the end of the hot dog buns, we'd still have two dogs left over, so we'd need more buns, which would in turn force us to buy more hot dogs, and on and on, in an endless cycle of wiener consumption.

So I finally decided to get to the bottom of it.





There you have it, folks: Oscar Meyer and Wonder Bread are finally going to get together on this issue.

And to that, I think we can all say "w00t."

So it takes us about 2-3 hours to produce one of our prank phone call transcripts, it takes about 4-5 hours to do a prank phone call with audio, and it takes 6-7 hours to do one of these video prank phone calls.

Let us know with your votes and passalongs if it's worth the effort!

A weiner for every one of Jesus' apostles! Great. Let's see, here's one for Peter, one for James, John, Judas, Bartholemew, Andrew, Philip, Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Bashful and Sleepy.

More excellent activism, good looking out. I could have got distracted and stuck for 6-7 hours on making just the last three seconds of the video, so you're being very proficient with your time.

Its a real bummer if you drop a bun; not so bad if you drop a weiner (only 2 max of dropping weiners guys!). They surely could not have thought behind their relish on that one; or did they? I think Evelyn and Carlos were hiding the real secrets.and WOOt!

Really great work John! I think the extra effort was well worth it.

Of course, the better question would be how you came up an idea about the number of wieners that can fit into your buns and why you are having trouble sitting still in video.

Frost Judas he doesn't Shakespeare!

If he increased the fiber in his diet, he might be able to Shakespeare. Then would you consider including a hot dog for him?

Two extra wieners left over...?

Freeze 'em.

Interesting note is that John got both reps to say woot which means they were paying attention to every detail even if they can't do anything more than pass the message along. Also of note is that they both speak perfect english, something which is becoming quite rare.

To get around the 10 vs 8 hotdog/bun problem, I crunch up all the hot dogs in my hands and sprinkle them over each bun.

you crunch up the hotdogs? they're crunchy? crunchable? I think its time to lay off the discount meat market, there's a reason stuff is so cheap there. either that or read a cookbook, good gawd man!

Oh, I only crunch the barbecued ones... Boiled ones get mashed into a paste and spread on the bun.

I also like to stick hotdogs in a paper shredder lengthwise and place them on the bun in strips.
