Well, maybe some people like me like hot dogs without buns.

Older than the internet.

I have heard that so many times.

[edit] - I meant that I've heard the hot dog/bun thing so many times.

Re: im confizzled...

im not trying to be funny, im really dead serious, it just made me think about how screwed up the retail industry is... everything sold that has a mate, usually comes in a disproportionate size... is it just to get you to buy more so that you will have an equal amount, or are they just stupid??? the fact that they retail these items and people follow it has me boggled... maybe im slow???

Re: im confizzled...

no you're not slow...and it's really one of the great mysteries of our time
like why kamikaze pilots have parachutes
or why drive up atms have braille

I'm sorry if this post is very stupid and inaccurate, feel free to correct me.

There's many, many different brands of hot dogs/hot dog buns, meaning you'll find hot dogs/hot dog buns in varying quantities. Not every thing of hot dogs has ten hot dogs. I've seen packs with five, 20, 30..

Just like you can find differently sized boxes of cereal and differently sized things of milk.

I just don't like how you tried to pretend that you thought this up all yourself.

It wasn't funny when Dane Cook said it either.
