Rant of the day 💥

[crazychemgirl]

I feel like I need to revisit this rant. Because… WTF

What about hot dog v bun quantity … why do buns come in packages of 6 but you can’t get hot dogs in packages of 6 … it’s a god damn conspiracy

I do remember this being an issue but recently I’ve noticed they do seem to sell the buns in 8pks

But the buns that are the right size for regular hot dogs are mostly crappy. The good buns are all larger, for brats or longer hot dogs.

I just did a quick search in the grocery app.
The buns all come in 8pk, with one or two options for 12pk.
The hot dogs come in 8pk but also the regular Oscar Mayer ones are in 10pks

Your dog doesn’t fit my bun? I think we should test. For science.

It’s a conspiracy!!!

Big Buns is a powerful lobby.

Damn, I love science. I used to hate it back in school, but lately science has really turned up

See it from the other side! You can fit sooooo many condiments in there Load that bad boy up with roasted onions, some bostongurka, diced jalapeños and baby, you've got yourself a party!

Nooooo. Read the original rant! If I wanted more condiments (which I do, I love putting all sorts of stuff on them) I want a wider bun, not longer!! I don’t want bites of just condiment in bun.

Also, that link looks like pickle relish? I love me some pickle relish. Though I’m not a fan, sensory wise, of mustard seeds.

Eep. I confess to skimming it. I blame it being midnight. I don't mind pure condiment bites at all though, some times I just skip the sausage alltogether

More or less! It's a bit different, but I couldn't tell you in what way. Love mustard, and it usually has stuff like paprika in it too. Not sure if that's in pickle relish. Fantastic either way

This is also true with me... Maybe it's a Canadian thing?

*Edit. Should have fucking read the whole thing before commenting.

We also have packages of buns in 8 count or 12 count.

Hot dog packages are pretty much always a 12 count (unless you buy them fancy ones)

So if @crazychemgirl doesn’t have those options in her grocery stores, just where in the small town west coast part of Canada, eh, do you live in?

I feel like this conversation has completely missed the most important topic - how the buns are split. Obviously there is a correct way, and then there is the way that the rest of the heathen universe splits their hot dog buns.

I think if I truly had the rant I'm dying to let fly, I'd never be able to show my face here again.

I typically buy Boar’s Head and they come 7 to a pack.

Thats enough of a reason for me not to buy those

I had another rant that I debated posting this morning but then the doctor’s office called to schedule my physical and I was reminded of this...

Why do they have you do bloodwork on the same day of your physical? Why not a week prior so the doctor can discuss your results with you at the appointment? Isn’t that the whole fucking purpose?
The cynic in me says that it’s because they want to schedule you for another appointment if your results are abnormal so they get 2 visits out of it vs one.
So frustrating! Anyone in healthcare have perspective on this?

My endocrinologist has me do it at least a week ahead but I always forget so I end up doing it after and she talks about it with me on the next visit. (I see her 3-4 times a year.) My GP just gets the blood results from her labs.
