I Wish I Were an Oscar- Meyer Weinermobile...

Elspode · 01-24-2004, 05:00 PM

It is difficult to have a bad trip to Sam's Club when you arrive and see a Weinermobile sitting out front...

Elspode · 01-24-2004, 05:01 PM

I even got to go inside. The seat fabric has little Weinermobiles embossed into it.

Elspode · 01-24-2004, 05:03 PM

It looks so futuristic, yet so silly...

At least this weinermobile was built on a commercial chassis. The last generation was built on a chevy station wagon chassis. It weighed 3 time what the car would have but they didn't upgrade the brakes. The drivers had some very exciting stories to tell.

But ELS the important question is ,
DID YOU GET A WEINER-WISTLE ??????

Elspode · 01-24-2004, 11:43 PM

Yup...but when you ask about it, it sounds so dirty!

or.....maybe you were just having a bad trip, and there was no wienermobile?

Good thinkin' to get pics...i've seen this thing a few times, and my kids always freak out ( although they don;t eat hot dogs) What a cool promo. I think other companies should come out with their own knock offs of this thing.

Furthermore, I think homework tonight will be to photoshop your favorite product's version of the wienermobile.

On my desk by morning, please

How embarassing...I've just realized that I didn't spell Wienermobile properly. <hangs head in shame>

Well, my Photoshop skills aren't really up to that sort of a challenge, but if they were, I'm pretty sure the easiest course of action would be to do one for Trojan condoms.

Howdy folks. I know I've been MIA for a while, but it's not like anyone missed me... right? :P

Anyway, I just had to say ... an old girlfriend of mine is one of the Weinermobile folks for OM. She's on the road for a year from last June.

Apparently there are 6 Weinermobiles, and about 12 interns are selected from nearly 1,000 applicants for the "job." They go out in teams of 2 and 3 and do god knows what for 12 months. But they do get paid for it.

Now she's originally from St Louis, but she's assigned to the southeast, so I don't think it was her you saw. Still, at least I can brag about having a friend that drives a giant hot dog.

Don't believe me? http://www.supdogg.com/murph.htm

Elspode · 01-27-2004, 11:24 PM

Well, she wasn't either the driver or the intern of the one I saw...but I did tell the driver that I thought she had one of the greatest jobs in the world!
