wow, that's a very interesting perspective on the difference between 10 and 12 as numeral system bases.

also, what a terrible state of affairs for obsessively-minded people. that we cannot even out buns and hotdogs.




In my home country hot dogs are packaged by the 11. Prime numbers are the worst (haha, language joke intended)


We've got 5 sausages to a jar over here, would go great with your 11 hot dog buns!

I've always wondered why sell that as a prime number, surely it can't be worth it to annoy your customers to sell them an extra sausage? Anyone introducing a reasonable amount would capture more purchases.

Or bags of bread with an uneven number of slices. Why are we inflicting this on each other?


but are they the curry worst?
