The Oscar Meyer WEINERMOBILE is no more

[WillTravelForFood]

The Weinermobile is getting a new name: The FRANKMOBILE

It may or may not a temporary marketing thing, as Oscar Meyer wants to highlight their All Beef Franks.

A sad day indeed. A moment of silence.
Now, to start complaining again: Why are they changing the recipe? They have one of my favorite dogs.

Catchy Marketing sticker above the wheel well on the side of the new Frankmobile

An homage: Oscar Mayer Wiener Song (From "Oscar Mayer") - YouTube

Kim has a blue front Amazon parrot named Oscar, that will say the first verse. He quit saying the wiener part a year ago or so. LOL

[captainlee]

Wrong ! Another marketing genius at work.

[JLR]

Should we mount a boycott?!

[captainlee]

Why not !!!!!!

[Alan Brice]

At least they are not trying to make it a Francis mobile.

We can all only aspire to be the kind of parent humor columnist Dave Barry is:

• "Never pick your child up at middle school in the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile." Barry confesses that he did just that to his son when Rob was in sixth grade in 1994. Barry drove the Wienermobile for a day to write about it for The Miami Herald, where he was a columnist. "It took only three or four years for him to get over it," Barry says.

That story sounds vaguely familiar to me. I wonder if NPR picked it up, the most likely media source from which I would have heard it.

[Jim White]

I've read a couple of Barry's books, so I'm betting that's how I was aware, although it's also possible his column was syndicated here back in the day of newspapers on paper that magically appeared at your door in the morning.

My wife's bestie, Kimmy, would do nearly anything to get the chance to drive the World famous Wienermobile.

[WayneT]

Frankly speaking, I don’t have a beef with that idea.

[JLR]

Reminds me of Boy’s Life from years ago. Well done.

[Jfrosty27]

What?!?!?!
Again the marketing geniuses do something stupid.
It will always be the Weinermobile to me.

[WillTravelForFood]

Frankly speaking, I don’t have a beef with that idea.

admit it. you relish the thought of a name change

[WayneT]

I have no idea how you mustard enough courage to share such a thought.

[JLR]

Can you guys stop it? I still trying to play ketchup.

[Spinaker]

How many more puns can we use in here? LOL

[GolfGeezer]

That is one of my favorite foods - wiener on a pun!

[BourBonQ]

Y'all are on a roll. I will relish the opportunity to ketchup.

[Spinaker]

Hahahaha, perfect!

[WayneT]

Spinaker gave our puns a chili reception!

[Spinaker]

I love a good dad joke and/or pun.

[WayneT]

I’ll let you know when I come up with one. 🤣

[mnavarre]

Jeeze, that's just the wurst.

[WayneT]

And, I was a brat growing up.

[Jim White]

Cheese, can you guys just chili with the puns?

[MBMorgan]

"puns"? I believe that should be "buns". Cheese!

[WayneT]

I slaw that one coming.

[Bkhuna]

Frankly, I have no dog in the pun battle.
