Modus Operandi

So today i was eating my breakfast of Eggo waffles and i noticed that i finished off the box. i usually eat 2 in the morning before work, and low and behold, on friday i finished them all. It seems 10 come in a box. Now this got me wondering. Is it a conspiracy like the hot dog and hot dog bun deal with 12 dogs and 8 buns? Or is eggo actually doing there homework, realizing people eat those waffles before work, like myself just on weekdays. Package goods companies are usually on top of quantitative research of this nature, but am i giving Eggo too much credit here? And where does the syrup fit in?
