What knucklehead came up with the term building. My question is why do they call buildings buildings when they have already been built?

My last question for the night is why is there 10 hot dogs per package and some genius from a bread company has not created a solution by adding 2 more dam buns?

marketing companies have changed the hot dog dilemma....unless you buy bulk, but then you buy bulk so....as for the building thing, I have no idea ask JRR Tolkien, he was a linguist...

wait right here, i'll go find out....

I would wager that 'structure' is the proper term and 'building' is more of a slang referance to a structure.

As for the hot dogs .... it may more of a 'what came first' question. Personally I buy hot dogs in the big package of what 30 or so, and I don't buy hot dog buns. Instead I just use sliced bread.

See, another area of southern superiority. We are buildin' buildings. Sense the sense of southern sensibilities?

I have researched the query, and from what i have determined, in reference to the term "building"

The term "building" is derived from a completed structure, as in built, including all embellishments. This is a compilation, and in as much the "ing" signifies, that the structure was completed by numerous trades, and solidifies the word "building" as all inclusive, before, during, and after the finished product.

As for the hot dogs and buns, we can only surmise, that as you suggested, someone in the bread industry was either unfamiliar with the product in which they were attempting to produce as a condiment, or, as was suggested a flaming idiot. We will update you, as our findings are inconclusive.

Your friends @ Markecephus Center Control

Smart guy, how about in Europe or Asia? Do they have different numbered buns & franks? Ain't pickin' on ya; love the answer and really like havin' an "answer guy" on here. I cain't read so it's difficult for me to research such things!

either buy 4 packs of 10 pack dogs

and 5 packs 8 count buns

or

buy the 8 pack of dogs

and the 8 pack of buns

or

just by dogs and use bread


but hey what do i know

Thanks Robin, i'm thinking the two extra dogs are for the ones that might fall in the fire...lol.

Speaking of dogs, if dogs don't sweat, what are their armpits for? and since dogs don't have arms...are they called leg pits? Things that make ya go...hmmmm...

Anyway, who can grill hot dogs without eatin' one before they get to the bun? Especially if they're Nathans!

I still don't get the hot dog thing
Is California the only state in the union where hot dogs come in 8 pks?

I wish hot dogs still came in 10 I used the leftovers with mac n cheese.

shhhhhhh I'm pondering

you see by questioning the hot dog to bun ratio you have now given the hot dog companies justification to lessen the amount of hot dogs while charging the same amount ..good going..somethings are better left unsaid ....

you can get both 8 packs and 10 packs of hot dogs in ohio

Buy Hebrew Nationals...excellent hot dog.

They come in packages of 8.
