10 Wieners. 10 Buns. It’s time.

Hot dog wieners come in packs of 10. Hot dog buns come in packs of 8. WHY?! As the condiment that has been bringing foods together for over 150 years, we’ve decided enough is enough. That’s why we started the Heinz Hot Dog Pact. We’re calling on Big Bun and Big Wiener companies to find the answer to this hot dog packaging mismatch, once and for all. We need your signatures more than ever. Let’s change hot dog history together.

The most northern American arm of the popular condiment manufacturer is getting involved in this decades-long struggle about the mismatched snack food and its proper accompaniment.

In a new video, the Toronto-headquartered company stresses how hot dogs often come in packs of 10, while hot-dog buns regularly come in groups of eight. In addition to the video, the company posted an online petition urging “Big Bun” and “Big Wiener” to get together and put 10 hot dogs in a package and 10 buns in a package.

Although it doesn’t make any of the meats, proteins (or even plant-based offerings) to put on the buns, Heinz does have a dog in this race. Its iconic ketchup is a condiment many people use on hot dogs and many think should never come anywhere near a hot dog.

1. Wasn't it Larry David who started this movement??

14. I see Steve Martin raging through a grocery store, tearing open packages to right this wrong

Father of the Bride?

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I remember on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" when Larry David made a big fuss in a grocery store

And refused to buy a full package of rolls since the number didn't match up with the number of hot dogs in the package he bought. Which filmed scene came first?

[catrose]

21. I don't know! FoB was from 1991. I couldn't find Larry, not right away.

2. My vote is for 8 each ... a pack with 10 buns is unwieldly wide ...

But it'll never happen cause what looks like a boondoggle is really a big conspiracy to keep people buying buns AND hot dogs in a vicious circle type of thing

Pretty sure this qualifies as First World Problems

3. At Coscto, at least the Polish dogs come in 16-packs and the hoagie rolls are 8-packs.

It's not like I can't find a good use for a leftover hoagie roll, but it's nice to not end up with a dog and no bun.

4. "It can be tough living here in America! Why wasn't this covered in my history classes?"

5. Problem solved

Ball Park hot dogs and Ball Park buns both come in packs of 8.

[Haggard Celine]

7. Yes they do, and that's what I buy.

[Yonnie3]

6. Not on my agenda

8 dogs for humans and 2 dogs for the canine works fine for me.

[ebbie15644]

20. agree otherwise you waste a bun

[Mr.Bill]

8. Buy frozen corn dogs.

Problem solved.

9. I'll make garlic bread out of the excess hot dog buns

[NurseJackie]

13. I make garlic bread from hot-dog buns that are near (or passed) their "best-by" date.

Mmm... mmm... good!

[Kaleva]

22. I'll even use them and leftover hamburger buns to make P & J sandwiches.

10. LOL.... the mysteries of life

[vercetti2021]

11. Or

Use bread instead of buns, problem solved. Or are there people who are weird about putting a dog on a slice of bread? I did that shit growing up since we didn't have a lot of money and buns weren't cheap. Sometimes I had hot dogs in a tortilla.

[NurseJackie]

12. I buy Oscar Meyer hot-dog wieners in packs of eight...

... the all-beef bun-length ones are vacuum sealed in two 4-packs. Each four-pack can be re-zipped closed if needed (but we never need to).

[Mossfern]

15. Erm.......

I buy Hebrew National hot dogs and they come in packages of 7.
I couldn't figure that out until I realized that they go by weight.

Not much in life is perfect and deciding what to do with the extra bun is a creative challenge.

17. Bad weiners come in packs of 10

My Vienna come in packs of 8 and 4.

[tanyev]

18. I don't disagree, but can we save democracy first?

[Maxheader]

19. packaging issues?

Straight from Dilbert. Pointy haired bosses new marketing ploy.

Look for new, neat 2 bun packs where the twinkle are displayed...
