Why is it (in the UK at least) bagels are sold in packs of 5? Why 5? Who picked that apparently arbitrary number?

It makes no sense.

Well just think... in the US when you buy a pack of hot dogs it has 10 of them. The buns come in packs of 8...

There's genius for you.

It's a conspiracy by the bun people to make you buy more buns. That's the only logical explanation I can think of for it.
