The nearest supermarket to me stocks both buns and hot dogs in 4 or 5 packs. They alternate between the different packages. Except if it’s a 4 pack of buns, then you get 5 dogs and vice versa. I suspect it’s done on purpose, to force you to buy 20 dogs and 20 buns to equal it out.
If there are 6 buns and only 5 hot dogs, and you want to eat 28 in one sitting, you can make 28 and have 2 ready at home.
Or you can just… Use them for other things? I’m not American so the ritual if the hotdog isn’t something very serious for me. Hope I didn’t say anything too heretic
What kind of otherworldly paradise do you live in where the hot dogs and buns can be purchased in equal numbers like that?

I’m remembering the koan in Bulletproof Monk now.
Because they are.
