Synchronization
FINALLY!
From the
Northwest Herald:
Companies sync dogs-to-buns ratio
It is a source of frustration at cookouts everywhere: There are never enough hot dogs, and there always seem to be way too many buns.
Hot dogs and hot-dog buns are sold in different quantities, but that is going to change beginning today.
Vienna Beef and Alpha Baking Co., which manufactures S. Rosen's buns, promise to sell the buns and hot dogs in the same numbers.
According to a news release, the companies will sign a formal "piece" treaty, vowing to package hot dogs and buns in quantities of eight.
Hot dogs now are sold eight to a pack, and buns are sold with six or 12 in a pack, the news release stated. In order to have an even cookout, chefs must buy 24 of each to ensure that every dog has a breaded mate.
Because of former inequities, more than 2 million buns a year are wasted, the news release stated.
It feels like the earth's axis just tilted a bit.
...wow...
