My bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R. If you’re old enough to finish the next line you probably come from the “stuck on Band Aid” generation and you’re familiar with the giant hot dog on wheels, the Oscar Mayer weiner mobile.
I remember standing in awe in the parking lot of Memorial Stadium waiting to go into a Baltimore Orioles game when the giant wiener came rolling towards me. The jingle above was blaring from the PA system. It looked like a Winnebago with a giant hotdog on the top. It was grand. Of course my pre-teen elation was ripped apart when all the hot dog people gave me was a package of frozen hotdogs that would undoubtedly go rotten in the 98 degree son through a 5 hour Sunday afternoon game against the Blue Jays. But alas, the weiner mobile.
When I was five i thought I wanted to be a monorail driver at Disney World. How cool would it be to drive the monorail all day long and live in the Polyneasian village? That changed at 6 when I wanted to drive the metro in DC, but not once did I consider driving the Oscar Mayer weiner mobile. Until now.
Now, Americas favorite processed meat company (some may think Spam holds that title) is giving away an opportunity to lease one of their 6 Oscar Mayer weiner mobiles for 8 hours.
The company has taken to Twitter for a tweet to win contest. All you have to do is tweet with the hashtag #Tweet2lease. The official instructions don’t say if you have to tweet Oscar Mayer but if you want to add that they are @oscarmayer and if you’re anywhere from 25-45 you should be able to spell Oscar Mayer by heart.
If you’re the lucky winner though don’t be disappointed, but you won’t really be driving the Oscar Mayer weiner mobile yourself you’ll have the services of an Oscar Mayer, specially trained chauffeur. The chauffeur, which Oscar Mayer calls a “hotdogger” will be at your disposal for 8 hours, as will plenty of hotdogs and a variety of bologna.
The weiner mobile comes in at 27 feet long and a whopping 14,050 pounds. Your friends will think you’re the coolest guy on the block.
