why don't they sell hot dogs and buns in equal quantities? unless you buy 5 packs of hot dogs and 4 packs of buns something gets wasted. who's going to eat 40 hot dogs? this really irks me.

what do you think?

[Fiend]

a) gallagher you are not
b) you do realize that isn't really true right?

unless you buy in strange x to 1 ratios, store brand or bulk from GFS or something, it is always 8 dogs (normal ballpark brand, all meat for example) and 8 buns in a pack. if you buy those damn cheap store brand, they put more in a pack to equal a pound (10 to 1), that is your own problem. packaged hot dogs, patties, etc come in 1 to 1, 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 4 to 1, etc etc where the 'to 1' means how many to a pound.

Because hot dogs are nasty.
Bratwursts usually come in packs of 5. Buy 2 packs of brAts and 1 pack of buns.
Go home and grill with no guilt about anything being wasted.

Not in Michigan, hotdogs rule. One of the few states that has laws of what 'meat' can be in a hotdog. Most states and other countries allow slaughterhouse scraps to be put in the casings and/or fused into a dog. Those are prohibited from being made/sold in Michigan. I will only eat a Ballpark bought/sold in Michigan (or in the case of Coney's here, natural casing Kogels).

I believe that same law is tru for bologona and other processed lunch meat. You never know what you are going to get at most places

Takeru Kobayashi of course!




So delicious...

[Randman]

Takeru is a monster.

And a big for the bratman.

Of course, if you have veggie friends, you're covered with the extras.

That guy is crazy. Have you watched the Discovery show on him and the other contestants at various other eating contests? That husband and wife team is pretty messed up too. Traveling around the country doing contests left and right.

This was the premise of an Animaniacs episode. They went to see the smartest person in the world who knew everything to ask him that question. He couldn't answer it and he went crazy, if I remember correctly.

So don't think about it too much...

[budster101]

I forgot what I was just going to post, but I'm hungry now, so I'm going to go out and get a hot dog.

Oh, that's it.

Brats should always be cooked in beer with a large onion for a while before being placed on the grill. This removes some of the fat and enhances the flavor. (Hot dogs should always be "kosher" as this means no scraps.) sam

From Bulletproof Monk:

Early in the movie:

Monk With No Name: Why do hot dogs come in packages of ten, but hot dog buns only come in packages of just eight?
Kar: What the hell is that?

At the end of the movie:

Kar: So, I figured it out, why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog.

I remember that episode, too. IIRC, they went to see the all-knowing Wally Llama to pose him this very important question. As you said, he didn't know and went crazy. Heh, and the moral of the episode was to "Never ask what hot dogs are made of."

Man, I love the Animaniacs.

But what do hot dogs and brats have to do w/ America having the worst diet in the world. Hot dogs were originally created in Frankfurt, Germany(Frankfurter); they then developed more in Vienna, Austria(Vienna Sausages) before getting popularized in USA as hot dogs.
Bloodwurst, knockwurst....all meat in a tube comes from Europe.

PS I'm eating a Cadbury creme egg for breakfast.
Last night, I ate a package of bacon for a 3AM snack.
Perfect health and slightly underweight.

I make brats that way all the time. Serve them up with sauerkraut and hot and sweet mustard on a potato bun. Yum, now I'm hawngry.

[Randman]

The best brats (naturally) I've have were in Munich. But on a crusty bread roll. Can't be beat for a quick snack, especially on a chilly day. Wisconsin probably comes in second.

MMMM, good.

[jbmitt]

the line also is from father of the bride.. Steve Martin says it

[Eriamjh]

Good hot dogs come in packages of eight. Cheap hot dogs come in packages of 10.

Our cosco sells hot dog buns in packages of 12.

[wdlove]

Luckily I don't eat hot dogs, so no problems here.
