Maybe 'Business Heads' to force you to buy more of one or the other?

In today's world, things that could be THAT easy, as six of one and a 1/2 dozen of the compatible other, usually seem NOT to be the reality.
Why...Again...Maybe 'business minds?' 
Who knows...Maybe the fear that life could be too easy & we'd become complacent?
NAH!

To force people to buy hot dogs and buns in bulk packs of 24 – it's the best marketing scheme ever!

"Gentlemen we need a way to sell more hot dogs!"

"I know why not sell less buns per pack!"

"But that doesn't make sense… wait a minute… people will buy 6 more buns but will need 4 more hot dogs… then buy 8 more hot dogs and need 4 more buns… buy 8 more hot dogs and then need 6 more buns… and then in the end end up with 24 hot dogs and buns! THAT'S GENIOUS!"

Could we compare the housing market to the hot dog vs. bun thing.

 

Say there are 8 people looking for a house but only six houses available…….or say 6 people get houses and the 2 people left over A) don't get a house or B)Are forced to build a house……or the homeless population grows and folks are forced to live down by the lake and get to only eat hot dogs with out buns

I believe that the answer lies in the question.  More specifically, you are asking the wrong question.  The right question would be:  "Which came first, the hot dog or the bun?"

It's a plot by the vegetarians. They think that if you are short two buns that you won't eat the dogs, but I outsmart them folks. I buy 3 packages of hot dogs and 4 packages of buns and eat them ALL. HA! Stick that in your tofurger you veggie plotters.

It's a vast Right/Left/Middle/Democrat/Republican/GreenParty/FOX/MSNBC conspiracy.

The lobbyist for the bun industry have paid MILLIONS to Congress so you are forced to buy TWO bags of hot dog buns and throw four buns out.

CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN!

Nevermind Health Care, we NEED THIS FIXED NOW!

For every six people eating hot dogs, two like to double-load their bun.

Or, for every eight people eating hot dogs, two are on low-carb diets.

I could go on.....but not while retaining my health.
