Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Oscar Meyer announced it is seeking a new "hotdogger" to be in charge of taking the iconic Wienermobile across the country to promote the brand.

The company said in a job posting online that it is seeking a "hotdogger" to "travel the hot dog highways of America" with the Wienermobile and to act as a "traveling public relations firm."

Oscar Meyer said it is especially seeking graduates with a BA or BS in fields including public relations, journalism, communications, advertising and marketing, although degrees in other fields of study will also be considered.

"Oscar Mayer uses the Wienermobile at special events throughout the country and they need people like you to coordinate all aspects of Wienermobile travel and event management," the posting states.

I last saw one back in the early 90’s parked at a supermarket on Georgia Ave. in Wheaton, MD. Locked up, nobody around. If you’ve ever been to Wheaton, especially now, it’s amazing nobody tried to go for a little joy ride.

In Tallahassee, about a year or two ago, I saw one in the parking lot at a Super Wal-Mart, the one on the east side near I-10. Considering the funky aerodynamics, driving that beast on the Interstate must be a chore.

I was last in Wheaton in the early 90s. It was nice then. I remember I was near a King Castle White Castle knock off (inferior, of course), and got my '74 Dart repaied at an expensive Firestone shop. The area was somewhat expensive then, too.

And if the Wienermobile were carrying food items for public distribution, it would be subject to inspections, etc.

A ten year old doesn’t think of such things.

Little Tavern is what that was. We used to say, 'Burgers so bad, they're good.' Steamed dinner roll, a paper-thin slab of gray meat-like product, some rehydrated ballpark onions from a container, pickle chip, a squizz of ketchup and mustard, and there ya go. Buy 'em by the bag, as the saying went. Like White Castle or Krystal. And no, Wheaton back then wasn't that bad in a lot of areas, but as it built up, the usual riff raff migrated along with it. Back in the 80's Reagan/Bush I years, some places outside the Beltway in MD and VA still had that small town-ish feel to them. Then the whole of the D.C. 'burbs - and government - just exploded under Willie J. Clinton's watch. I chewed the lock off my cage and bolted to Alabama just before Y2K. I can only imagine what the cost of living is now. My buddy and his late wife bought their house on 1.5 acres in suburban (then rural) northern VA in '89 for $125K. He just sold it for $379K and is moving to WV to get while the getting's good.

'74 Dart? Man, there's a flashback. I had a Plymouth Duster I'd bought for $100. I think it was a '70. It was so old, it was still being sold under the Valiant badge that year. It had a rod knocking like a pile driver, so I got a good, used engine, a couple cases of beer, an engine winch, and we had an old-fashioned Engine Swap party one night. I literally ran that sucker into the ground. Dropped the tranny. I just left it where it was and walked away. LOL

OK....those are all reasonable precautions.

I was just describing.....hey wait a second, Oscar Meyer TV ads featuring Little Oscar & the Wienermobile showed the vehicle surrounded by kids, as L.O. passed out hot dogs wrapped in paper just like at a ball game. That’s why I was disappointed! Truth in advertising, huh!

And (real question) how are sidewalk hot dog vendors licensed and inspected? Does the vendor load his cart with food prepared in a kitchen that meets city standards, or does he bring it from home? How is remote food service controlled?

I pulled KP in the Army and I later inspected kitchens; a good mess sergeant literally strove to make his kitchen floor clean enough to eat off of. And I knew a reservist who worked for the city of Baltimore health department; he told of what he found in some restaurant kitchens that can’t be described here.

Anyway, interesting discussion. Food service is a favorite topic because one can never be too careful with kitchen hygiene.

A couple of years ago, some local entrepreneur was having bikini clad girls selling hot dogs from carts on the sides of the main tourist roads, was doing a pretty good business until the health department shut him down.............
