Packaging problem that plagued hot dog lovers solved (reported by ABC news - chicago)

May 17, 2005 � At one time or another all shoppers have faced the hot dog and hot dog bun dilemma. You either have to buy too many hot dogs or too few buns or you end up with extra buns and not enough dogs. But now dogs are dogs and buns are buns and finally the twain have met...

Unmentioned and unrepentant Hebrew National is one of the worst offenders in this realm, serving up 7 franks per package where on average, buns come in a sack of 8. Do the calculus and you'd realize the travesty in buying such large unmatched portions of buns and franks in order to avoid food waste and your subsequent financial ruin.

I mean, come on, it's the '00s for the love of Ezekiel. Why did the scientists and researchers wait so long? Should we begin questioning our federal grant allocations?
