Why are there 12 hot dogs per package and 8 buns per package?

If y’all knew what was in those hotdogs, there would be no problem.

Hey, some of us aren’t queasy at all about ingesting knuckles and rectums.

An odd number?? ::head explodes

Not just odd, but prime.

That’s just not kosher.

Ya buncha woosies. You don’t need a bun to eat a hot dog. A hot dog should be shoved onto the end of a long stick and stuck into a roaring fire until black. Then you eat it off the stick.

Problem solved.

I tried, but now there’s black smoke stains on my kitchen ceiling, and the linoleum looks like hell.

That’s just immoral!

I wonder if it has to do with Judaism’s particular fondness for the number seven. Are a lot of kosher foods sold in sevens?

Here, most people buy jumbo hotdogs which are 8 in a pack. The buns generally come eight in a pack.

Didn’t Chow Yun-Fat have some faux-Zen-but-not-really answer to this question in Bulletproof Monk?
