Heinz has launched the “Heinz Hot Dog Pact,” an online petition that seeks to correct a longstanding wrong: the mismatched numbers of hot dogs and hot dog buns. How many grocery story shoppers are all-too-familiar with the frustration of holding a ten-pack of hot dogs in one hand, and an eight-pack of hot dog buns in the other? Heinz thinks it’s significant enough to start a campaign calling for there to be an industry consensus that creates one consistent ratio of dogs to buns that is offered to consumers. And, judging from the momentum the petition is gaining (at the time of writing this), a lot of other people are passionate about this issue!
10 Wieners. 10 Buns. It’s time.
Hot dog wieners come in packs of 10. Hot dog buns come in packs of 8. WHY?! As the condiment that has been bringing foods together for over 150 years, we’ve decided enough is enough. That’s why we started the Heinz Hot Dog Pact. We’re calling on Big Bun and Big Wiener companies to find the answer to this hot dog packaging mismatch, once and for all. We need your signatures more than ever. Let’s change hot dog history together.
