* So you'll buy more bread (no, because you can certainly buy buns in many other sizes, including 8) * To maximize waste and make sure some of the product goes bad and you have to buy more. (no, that's not an effective goal in corporate thinking. You'd have two to spare) * 2 of the hot dogs always fall through the grill so you only need 8 buns. (simply not true in general. It may happen, but not universal.) * Because someone in the bunch probably eats low carb!
The real reason is that each manufacturer has its own interests. They aren't the same entity. Hot dog manufacturers prefer to have packages weigh exactly a pound. It's easier to measure, sell, store, etc. Thus there are packages with 6 or even 4 larger, but the weight should add up to a pound, regardless. It happens to be that the most manageable size of Hot Dogs are an eighth of a pound, or 2 ounces.
The bakers have a different issue: pans. They use trays in various formations. The reason that a dozen is such a traditional baker's number is that it can be set up in configurations of 3X4 or 4X3 (or 2X6, or 6X2, but that's not common). When it comes to pans and ovens, maximum efficiency is key. Ten buns means it must be 2 rows of 5, which simply doesn't always work. The 3X4 rectangle is more convenient. == ==
1. so that people keep having to buy more hot dogs
2. because some people eat them without the bun
So that you have to buy 8 packs of hot dogs and 10 packs of buns to even it out. (More money)

Tigers have been pitted against packs of dogs, and always won. One tiger was pitted against 12 alsasians, and won after killing seven of the dogs.In the wild, dholes have been known to kill tigers, but only when the odds were twenty five or more to one. Even then, the tiger will usually kill a great number of the dogs. One tiger killed twelve out of a pack of twenty. Five dogs of any breed would have no chance at all against a healthy tiger. source; Richard Perry World of the Tiger
They just do. No one knows why.
It depends on where she is. If she's anywhere but New England, she will buy six packs of buns plus either six packs of 8-per-pack wieners like Ball Park, or eight packs of 6-per-pack kosher wieners like Hebrew National. This will give her 48 hot dogs and 48 buns. If she IS in New England, hot dog buns come 10 in a pack (they're also a different shape than the ones in the rest of the country) so five packs of buns and five 10-per-pack wieners will give 50 hot dogs. If she isn't in New England and wants to get cheap on the meat, though, five packs of buns and four 10-per-pack wieners will give 40 hot dogs.

Yes, because pariah dogs are feral animals, and therefore live in packs. Their pack nature tends to be stronger than other pet dogs. My Canaan dog, has a very strong pack instinct. Dogs with strong pack instincts should go on daily walks with his or her pack, and also spend lots of time with their pack (you). They need training and patience.
Butchers historically have always liked to deal with even weights. The size of hot dogs at the time were such that 10 of them equaled one pound. Even though some hot dogs packages are less than a pound now, they still stick to the 10 per pack. Bakers, on the other hand, like to deal with even multiples of 4. Buns, be they hot dog or hamburger, have come 8 to a package since they first started.
