Why would anyone pay $8 for a hot dog?

People, do not pay $8 for a hot dog, are you insane?

You can buy 8 hot dogs and 8 buns for $2.50. Why the hell would you pay $8 for one hot dog? You can’t wait two hours to have a shitty hot dog?

What kind of otherworldly paradise do you live in where the hot dogs and buns can be purchased in equal numbers like that?

If there are 6 buns and only 5 hot dogs, and you want to eat 28 in one sitting, you can make 28 and have 2 ready at home.

Or you can just… Use them for other things? I’m not American so the ritual if the hotdog isn’t something very serious for me. Hope I didn’t say anything too heretic

The nearest supermarket to me stocks both buns and hot dogs in 4 or 5 packs. They alternate between the different packages. Except if it’s a 4 pack of buns, then you get 5 dogs and vice versa. I suspect it’s done on purpose, to force you to buy 20 dogs and 20 buns to equal it out.

I’m remembering the koan in Bulletproof Monk now.

Because they are.
