Burger buns are round :P The answer to the hot dog vs bun packs: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_350.html

Oh and there's also the fact that it's easier to pack meat in round containers, traditional sausages are an example, conditioned by the naturally round intestines of animals in which they are packed. Hope that made sense. I'm not very articulate at this moment :P

What a great question! he he Here is another one... If there are 8 hot dogs in a pack, why do they sell you 12 buns in a pack? These are questions to ponder and nobody knows why. Thanks for the topic!

haha thats a great question. I never thought about that until you just mentioned it. But now that we are used to the way it is, it would look weird to have square meat. Although some bread is slighty round like rye bread.

You've stumped me. I had to think about it for a while and came to the conclusion that I could not think of a logical answer. Good observation. Maybe the person that decided to make sandwich meat round was trying to play a sick joke on consumers. He said to himself "I hate the world so here, all you sandwich meat is going to be round and will not look good in your square bread!". Is that a good one?
