Package hot dogs and buns in equal numbers, petition pleads Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, provided by July 6, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Food waste is becoming more and more of a known issue, with American consumers wasting nearly 40% of the food they buy, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Why, then, are hot-dog makers and hot-dog-bun bakers not doing their part? Hot dogs, says Heinz Ketchup Canada in a new video, often come in packs of 10, while hot-dog buns regularly come in groups of eight. (I might argue their numbers. I don't always see 10/8 groupings, but there's no denying they never seem to match up.)
