Things that need scientific names

[Noisy Rhysling]

It would save time if we could just say "it's the CHIDIP effect again." So, what a sciencey name for the following:

The first one is: You never run out of chips and dip at the same time?

Then: There ten hot dog buns in a package but hot dogs come eight to the pack?

Then: There ten hot dog buns in a package but hot dogs come eight to the pack?

Kar: So, I figured it out, why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog.

Only Germans have a compound word for everything.

You mean things like Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän?
(Donau-dampf-schiff-fahrts-gesellschafts-kapitän = Captain hired by a certain company which runs steamboats on the Danube.)

Edit: Hungarian isn't bad either!

There ten hot dog buns in a package but hot dogs come eight to the pack?

That's just SNAFU

There ten hot dog buns in a package but hot dogs come eight to the pack?

Solution: Buy four packages of buns, and five packages of hot dogs.
40 buns, 40 hot dogs

Bovilexia: the urge to roll down the car window and shout "Moo!" when driving past a herd of cows.

Only Germans have a compound word for everything.

Like: The Captain of the cruise ship that sails on the Danube during the summer months? (That was the longest German word my teacher knew when I was failing German at Purdue.)
