    I don't know why, I'm pretty sure hotdogs are more expensive per pound than ground beef at my local shop. 70/30 (which is fattier than I normally purchase) was $3/lb last time I was there, hotdogs are almost double that. Maybe that's just a local thing?

    I think this labelling is just marketing. Given the name of the product contains "hamburger" they can assume anyone buying it already knows they can add ground beef. I think they just added hotdogs to the label to give people ideas about other proteins they can use.

    It's been decades since I've eaten Hamburger Helper, but I recall liking it more with hotdogs.

    I mean the CS skin market tanked today so I still think I'm on to something.

    It's wild that trading skins for a video game had a market cap of 3 billion. It's ridiculous that speculative trading has infected videogames.
