News spread quickly about a Wienermobile crashing into a home in Racine, Wisc., yesterday, but not as quickly as news that a facsimile of Oscar Mayer’s iconic vehicle (see photo above) had “crashed” my neighborhood.
Is there any better way to end a Saturday morning in July than to go and take photos of yourself with the Wienermobile? Can’t think of any, so I rounded up the wife, two of my three boys and one of their sleepover friends and we headed to the grocery store only a short walk from my St. Louis-area home.
I was the only one in our entourage brave enough to decorate his own metal mockup of a giant hot dog and have his photo snapped by a Wienermobile staffer while standing aside the hot dog on wheels (Click here to see the photo).
In exchange for my troubles, I received a Wienermobile whistle and a couple for a dollar off a pack of hot dogs. Thanks, Oscar Mayer!

You people in St. Louis don’t know what a good hot dog is. See http://www.jackstrawspizza.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/webassets/vienna12.jpg

If you think the Wienermobile is something, try the Kielbasavan. Go to the 30-second You Tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0czZ2V_J01Y.

Okay, it looks like a crass commercial message, but the kids are cute enough to allow it.
