Heinz seeks 'solution' to bun-to-hotdog ratio inequality

Heinz has announced a petition asking big bread and hotdog companies to sell buns and wieners in even packs.

Hot dog sandwich lovers were supposedly outraged about the inequality in the number of buns sold in packs, which is 8, compared to hotdogs, which contain 10 pieces per pack.

Daniel Gotlib, associate director at Kraft Heinz Company, said they are hopeful of solving the bun-to-hot-dog ratio issue after many years and would help show manufacturers the need to put an end to unequal packs.

However, Heinz's solution of telling bun makers to increase the number of bread per pack to 10 raised questions about why the burden of adjusting was being imposed on the breadmakers.

Some pointed out that it would have been easier if the hotdog makers are the ones asked to adjust by bringing down the pieces per pack to 8.

Heinz answered that when it comes to hot dogs, more is better.

So, instead of scaling back on the number of hotdogs per pack, it wants to bring more to the table.
