Hot dogs come in packages of 10. Buns come in packages of 8. It makes no sense but that’s how it’s always been. However, maybe not for much longer…..

Heinz Canada just launched a petition on Change.org to force companies to sell hot dogs and buns in equal amounts. However there is a reason behind the mismatch.  Hot dog companies started selling them in ten-packs in the 1940s, just because it was a round number. And bun companies sell eight-packs because the standard pan they’ve always baked them in fits four buns per row. Isn’t it time for a change though?

If you would like to sign the petition just go to Change.org and searching for the “Heinz Hot Dog Pact.
