It doesn't look a day over 10

Happy 75th Birthday, Wienermobile!


Does it have a first name?


No. That's only Bologna.


Pretty much the same concept as hot dogs.


True, but only one of them comes in giant, mechanical, rolling versions. That would be, of course, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!


Brief pause for rowdy cheers...and go.


Well, this week marks the 75th anniversary of the Wienermobile. It's really quite exciting. Here are some fun facts about the iconic automobile:

• There have been 10 different incarnations of the Wienermobile, including one based on a Mini Cooper.
  
• There are currently 7 Wienermobiles on the road.
  
• The drivers of the Wienermobile, who are all college seniors selected from thousands of applications, are called "Hotdoggers."
  
• US Congressman Paul Ryan is a Hotdogger alumnus.
  
• The Wienermobile has been pulled over twice for speeding in the town of Henderson, TX.
  
• The Wienermobile's horn can play the Oscar Mayer jingle in 21 different musical genres.

Now you know the facts about hot dogs...


Except what's in them...



So go on out and enjoy your barbecue!
