The hot dog on a bun-shaped automobile was created back in 1936 to advertise Oscar Mayer's meat products. Today, the Wienermobile, still exists and from what I read there are now 7 traveling throughout different parts of the United States.
I spotted this particular one at last week's local fair.
Traveling all the way from Oscar Mayer's headquarters in Wisconsin to California, you can see what I assume are deceased bugs and grime gathered on the enormous windshields from their journey.
This is the back view. A little intimidating if one was following the mobile from behind.
As a "Hotdogger", this is your driver's seat.
A "Hotdogger" is a college senior who drives this unique mobile around the United States and be an Oscar Mayer spokesperson and goodwill ambassador for a year.
Think of the adventures and the people you could meet!
From what I read, over 2000 applicants apply for this job annually, but only a handful of lucky souls are selected for this adventurous task.
Like the front seats, the back seats look just as colorful and cozy. The little logos add a nice touch and they never let you forget what you are riding in.If you are interested in following the

Thanks everyone for visiting & commenting!
ReplyDeleteSue: It travels around the U.S. If you don't see it, I wonder if they take requests to come to people's hometowns.
Betchai: It would be appropriate for it to show up at the hot dog eating contests.
yayix: I've been thinking about buying one from ebay. :)
Makes me think of the two hot dogs I had for dinner in a whole new light. Cool pics!
ReplyDeleteYou think the wienermobile is 100% beef?
ReplyDeleteI sure would enjoy a ride on this :) Love the Wisconsin Weenr - pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteRoschelle: What a coincidence!
ReplyDeleteJim: Yes, it's 100% beef and it plumps when you cook it.
