    Default Ridiculous Random Rant

    Ok....so my life is wonderful. Here's my biggest issue really.

    What's the deal with 12 hotdogs in a pkg and hot dog BUNS with only 8 per pkg??

    Seriously?? Haven't they wiener people and the bun people gotten together yet to figure this out?? Am I supposed to double up hot dogs to use up those last two buns....or am I supposed to buy 2 bags of buns only to be left with 6 buns and no dogs?

    These are the things that keep me awake at night.

    I found a solution to this problem, i go to romes and go to the bulk bins and get the hot dog buns from there.

    Buy three packs of buns and two of the wiener's, problem solved. That is assuming you can force the family to devour twenty four hot friggin' dogs.

    Biggest reason is that hotdog bun makers, and hot dog makers aren't the same company. It's marketing. Bun makers know most hotdogs come in 12, so they put 8 (Nice even number in) to make you buy more.

    Look harder when you shop! You can buy hotdogs that come 8 in a pack and you can also buy hotdog buns that come 12 in a pack. Co-ordinate your efforts and all will be right with the world.

    This might eliminate the position held by hot dogs in you diet.

    Everywoman - take a deep breath, put your hands together in the form of a temple and thank whatever deity you favour that this is the big problem in your life right now

    Oh, and buy hamburgers. The buns still come in 12's but you can get the store made in 4 packs.

    There's a wonderful little bun called a top sliced EW - you should try them --- and they only come in packages of 12.

    Funny we had hotdogs last night too, came home from camp late and didn't really feel like cooking, so hotdogs it was.

    I seldom eat them, but I sure as heck don't want to know whats in that video either.
    Yep put me in with the cowards too!

    What enters the mix is not bad. It's not healthy but it's not bad. it's what it looks like in the interim that is disconcerting. As for eating them, love 'em. I prefer mine dry cooked (not boiled) with toasted buns though.

    Gotta love hotdogs.......ok.....so now that we've discussed the bun vs weiner ratio....how do you like yours topped??

    I like ketchup, mustard, mayo, a processed cheese slice melted, and some finely chopped onion! Mmmmmm....
