Heinz Launches Petition to Make Hot Dogs and Buns Equal in Number—Here's Why They Aren't By Andre J. Ellington On 7/6/21 at 7:48 PM EDT Heinz Ketchup Canada just launched a petition to tackle a significant issue that many food lovers can't understand: Why is the number of buns and hot dogs always mismatched? "Hot dog wieners come in packs of 10. Hot dog buns come in packs of 8. WHY?!" asked Heinz Ketchup Canada on their online petition. "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."
