321798 2005-02-06 10:48:00 So that you have to buy bulk to make the numbers match, 3x Packs of Frankfurters and 4x Packs of Buns = 1x Evening BBQ with the mates!

Theres two sausages in a pan on a hot summers day. One rolls over and says "Boy, its hot in here!" and the second replys "Holy cow, a talking sausage!"


Chill.

(From spray'n'wipe ad? when that dude drops his weener on the floor, so they need to have some spares when that occurs) ;)

321801 2005-02-06 23:46:00 Yes, saw Bulletproof Monk. But assuming a traditional family of four, then the frankfurters can be easily divvied out, whereas two packs of buns would be needed to place every frankfurter in one and leave a nice round number of four for other uses, e.g. a side for dinner, or a filled roll for the next day's lunch. Why limit yourself to only one use? ;)

Alternatively, you could buy one pack of each, have 6 whole hot-dogs, and have two leftover frankfurters for dicing up for a pizza or leaving in the fridge until they go 'off' - in which case you would have received the benefit of six but paid for eight instead.

Spares? For what?? :confused:

True boys just pick up the dropped item and carry on eating . None I know clean them with Spray and Wipe either . . . :rolleyes:

By the way, they are spelt wieners, not weeners . :p

321803 2005-02-07 00:14:00 Spray it with that stuff and you'll get food poisoning - Just eat if off the floor.... it shouldnt be dirty anyways, take your shoes off at the door and shoot the dog! ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
321804 2005-02-07 00:23:00 The floor is clean; the dog licked it.

8 is half a hexadecimal dozen. Half a baker's dozen is 6-1/2. A lot of things are packed in decimal dozens or half-dozens. So it's just to confuse you.

Back to the thread: I think "small goods" have usually been made to "fit" a unit of weight. Asking for a pound of sausages (or saveloys) got you six. Frankfurters, or whatever, are thinner, so you got eight. Now it's probably 500 grams (or 450).

Well that certainly confuses me :dogeye: I must be the perfect consumer. :)

What happens in thrifty Scotland where a bakers dozen is 11 ?
