Heinz Starts Petition to Finally Put Equal Number of Hot Dogs and Buns in Packages

Heinz Starts Petition to Finally Put Equal Number of Hot Dogs and Buns in Packages

Foodie, ,
By Mike Pomranz | FoodAndWine.Com Troy Warren for CNT The condiment company wants "big bun and big wiener companies to finally sell buns and wieners in even packs." It's one of those age-old questions that never seems to get a satisfactory answer: Why is the number of hot dogs in a pack (usually ten) different from the number of hot dog buns in a bag (usually eight)? (The joke even got a whole scene in the 1991 movie Father of the Bride.) The gist of the explanation seems to be that the packaging priorities differ for meat producers and bakers — though that also doesn't explain why they…

3 things you can do to buy a home in a seller’s market

Home & Garden, Real Estate, ,
By Kiersten Willis, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Troy Warren for CNT If you’re in the market for a new home, you may have noticed that the odds aren’t exactly in your favor when it comes to securing your new dwelling. That’s because we are in a seller’s market. According to Redfin, that “occurs when demand exceeds supply, or there are more buyers seeking to purchase homes than there are available homes on the market.” Many times, multiple buyers are interested in one home, and bidding wars ensue. Sellers often have the advantage in this market, but just because they have the upper…
