Here’s one of my oldest son’s complaints – there must be a conspiracy concerning hot dogs and hot dog buns. For as long as I can remember my son always complained about hot dogs and buns. Not that he didn’t like them, it’s just there was never enough buns for the hot dogs.
A conspiracy he’s says.
See when you are on a fixed budget one tends to lean towards the least expensive. So I always bought the hot dogs that came ten to the pack, a bit more for my money.
Now you need buns, they only come eight to a package, no matter what brand. This now leaves you with two hot dogs left and no buns! Do the math. Even if you buy 2 of each it doesn’t work – 20 hot dogs, and 16 buns.
Okay, how about 3 packages of hot dogs, that’s 30, 4 buns 32 and you still have leftover buns!! The only way it works is if you buy 4, 10 count packs of hot dogs and 8 packs of buns but you can’t afford that many all at once so you are stuck!
You have no choice – either you buy the more expensive hot dogs that only come 8 to a package, or you have leftovers.
Perhaps my son is right, it is a conspiracy to get you to buy more!
What’s with that?
