Oscar Mayer

Wanna Drive The Weinermobile?

By

Oscar Meyer has opened up applications for new drivers for its iconic Weinermobile . If you’ve dreamed of driving a 27-foot-long hot dog up and down the roads of America, you’ve got until Jan. 31 to apply for the job.

It’s a paid gig, too! Hotdoggers, as the drivers are called, earn a base salary of $35,600 as well as a weekly allowance of $150 for meals and personal travel. They also get 18 days of paid time off, full health benefits and (naturally) 100% of all of their hotel expenses covered.

Think you can cut the mustard and stand above the competition? Here’s what you’ll need to be considered for the job. ( You can apply here .) 

You’ll need a Bachelor’s degree, preferably in public relations, journalism, communications, advertising, or marketing. It helps to be bilingual. And introverts need not apply.

You’ll also need a driver’s license  and be able to work major holidays. And you’ll need to clear a background check.

Not only will you drive the iconic vehicle all over the country, you’ll represent Oscar Meyer at more than 200 events throughout the year. That will involve handing out more than 250,000 Wiener Whistles to fans.

Just be warned: A a lot of people relish this job. Less than 1% of applicants are selected for the 12 openings. Oscar Meyer says that makes it harder to become a Hotdogger than it is to get into an Ivy League university.

This will be the 38 th round of Hotdoggers. The Wienermobile has been traveling the U.S. since 1936.

 

The Wienermobile Is Coming To Town

By

Launched in  1936, the world-famous WIENERMOBILE was created to  lift the country’s spirits during the great depression. It quickly became a national Icon, visiting cities all over the country.

In 1963 they debuted their jingle,”My bologna has a first name, it’s ‘O-S-C-A-R’ My bologna has a second name, It’s M-A-Y-E-R. Oh, I love to eat it every day,And if you ask me why I’ll say, Cause’ Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!!!!”  (Admit it- you just sang that in your head).

It went on to become one of the longest-running TV commercials in the country.

 

On November 18 and 19, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will make two stops in Montgomery County as part of its journey across the U.S.

While the Wienermobile is in town, guests can get a photo with the 27-foot-long hotdog-shaped vehicle, as well as a free ‘Wiener Whistle’.

You’ll find the iconic vehicle at  two local Walmarts :

  • Friday, Nov 18
    3360 Pentagon Blvd
    Beavercreek, Ohio 45431
    8:45 a.m. – 2 p.m.
  • Saturday, Nov 19
    7680 Brandt Pike
    Huber Heights, Ohio 45424
    8:45 a.m. – 12 p.m.

These stops are only a few in the hot dog shaped car’s trip across the us. According to a release, the Wienermobile visits a new state every week. You can even request the Wienermobile to make a special appearance, but you need to ask way in advance, up to 12 months.

You can also buy Wienermobile merchandise or if you’re really a big fan, why not apply for a job as a Hotdogger, the Wienermobile Spokesperson.
