Why do hot dog wieners and hot dog buns come in different pack sizes in North America?
According to CooksInfo: One of the annoyances home cooks face is that wieners are sold 10 or 12 to a pack, and the rolls for them are sold 8 to a pack in North America. Apparently the reason for this is that the baking pans used are made in clusters of four designed to make eight rolls, and the challenge of getting the wiener makers to talk to the bun makers seems insurmountable.

Another possible origin for serving the sausages in rolls is the pieman Charles Feltman, at Coney Island in New York City. In 1867 he had a cart made with a stove on which to boil sausages, and a compartment to keep buns in which they were served fresh.
