		+	: You are probably getting 7/1 hotdogs (7 hotdogs per pound), versus the comic getting 8/1s. I buy 7/1s too, but in two packs of 35, making ten pound cases. Then I buy twenty of those at a time. :P Buying food is fun!

		+	:I also buy about half as many 11/1s and 5/1 polish sausages. all my buns are twelve packs.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.245.114\|108.162.245.114]] 02:04, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

	I always buy condoms in packs of one hundred. The fun / expense ratio is much better, than in small packs.

		+	Where do Hot Dogs and Buns come in these weird sizes? Hot dogs come in packages of a dozen, and buns come in packs of 8 if they are "normal" and 10 if they are "sliced top." When I taught High School Chemistry I taught the kids that they came in uneven amounts to help them learn how to balance equations.

 The reason I heard for why hot dogs and buns come in uneven counts was because the manufacturers of each came to a mutual arrangement. The logic was that consumers with leftover hot dog buns would buy extra hot dogs, and vice versa. As such, hot dog makers and bun makers both profit.

 :: Just buy a dildo, for cryin' out loud! On an note more related to the comic, the original reason might have been some combination of factors like "bakers hate this" or "Meat packers do that", but I suspect the reason it has been perpetuated is to encourage the "I have buns, should get hot dogs/I have hot dogs, should get buns" loop, so people spend more. -Pennpenn [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.162|108.162.250.162]] 23:03, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
