Red Plastic Whistle
Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Visits – Memories
I am probably one of the few people who has visited the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile twice in my life with many years between each visit. The drivers are called “hotdoggers” and now a days are usually college students.
My first time seeing the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was probably in the 1950’s although I was quite young at the time. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was visiting at Camp Pendleton in California. We were with my mom and she took us over to see it. I remember that the “hotdogger” gave you a free hot dog to eat although I don’t remember actually seeing the inside of the Wienermobile.
The second time was just recently when it was visiting a local supermarket. I made a special trip to see it again. This time I waited in a short line to see the interior. The inside was very brightly colored with red and yellow decor.
The best part, however, was being given a free Oscar Mayer Wienermobile whistle wrapped in plastic. Of course, I couldn’t resist opening the whistle and trying it out. It worked fine. Thanks for the memories.
