Welcome to /c/hot_dog
For those that love hot dogs! This subreddit is where you can post pictures (homemade or restaurant-bought), videos, gifs, recipes, news, and so much more! With hot dogs, the possibilities are endless!
RULES:
Content can be anything even remotely related to hot dogs and its many variations (i.e. corn dogs & pigs in a blanket allowed).
No NSFW posts. Go to a different wieners subreddit for that.
That's pretty much it. Just be civil, follow the rules of Lemmy, and discuss your love for hot dogs.

Necessity is the mother of invention
They only sell buns in 12 packs around here, but the dogs only come in 8 packs. Why? Does Big Hot Dog think it will make people buy two dozen at once?
Allegedly (found by a quick search), hot dogs were sold by the pound and therefore were sold in packs for 10 (10×1.6oz).
Buns on the other hand were made in baking trays that held 8, in 2 groups of 4. (Maybe the 12 pack buns are similar?)
Heinz and Wonder both tried to fix / resolve this in ~2021 and now serve both in packs of 10.
Hopefully more companies will join in!

Some people think "deep state Del Monte" was responsible for all the dark psyops regarding the use of the tomato based sauce on hotdogs. This is a false narrative. The mustard cartels have done their best to confuse and distract the world to absolutely ensure their own racket goes undiscovered.
I present Figure 1 as definitive proof that ketchup has always been part of the winning formula:
