Ahhh, the Weinermobile! I actually drove one for about 100 feet sometime around 1991/92.
My current “Walmart Neighborhood Market” used to be a “Big Star.” It was something else before that. The Big Star grand opening was about a year after I moved to Dunwoody, and Oscar Meyer had the Wienermobile in the parking lot, along with other carnival type grocery store stuff.
You could go inside, and they had all kinds of plastic whistles, dolls, squeezy, toys, etc., etc. in the shape of a Wienermobile. Well, you know how shy and retiring I am. There was an afternoon shower, and the parking lot cleared out. I bugged the guy for about 15 minutes, and he let me drive the Wienermobile up and down one aisle. What an absolute hoot!
Originally, there were three Wienermobiles. I’m not sure when it happened, but now there are nine of them. I don’t know if anybody caught it, but for the last few years, the nine of them race the track before the start of the Indianapolis 500. The drivers tell all kinds of jokes and puns about hotdogs and sausages and buns, another hoot!
And, BTW, they are built on an F350 chassis. After the originals came out, the Planters Peanut company, with their Mr. Peanut icon, had them build almost the same exact thing, but it was a peanut instead of a hotdog. Ditto on Idaho potatoes, but after the first couple, they did a giant potato that’s actually tractor trailer.
Maybe
@Jim Oaks could talk them into building one on a Ranger chassis, maybe a breakfast sausage mobile or something like that.
