Some names are just the wurst.
Just four months after announcing that the hot dog-shaped Wienermobile was changing its name to the Frankmobile, the one-of-a-kind wiener on wheels is reverting to the original.
Oscar Mayer announced Wednesday on Instagram that the Frankmobile is toast. The Wienermobile rides again.
The name change announced by The Kraft Heinz Company in May was meant to pay homage to the brand's 100% beef franks and their new recipe.
For fans of the original name, the change was, frankly, ridiculous.
“It’s been a franktastic summer!” the Instagram post said. “But like you, we missed this BUNderful icon. Help us welcome back the Wienermobile!”
Oscar Mayer was headquartered in the Wisconsin capital, Madison, for nearly 100 years before it moved to Chicago in 2015. The first Weinermobile was created in 1936, and it has gone through several iterations since then.

And we all know how great his tenure was for America! Not. :(
Totally tubular dude.
There’s more than one?!? I’m crushed. It’s like finding out that there’s more than one Santa. It’s lie on top of lie. No wonder I don’t trust anything!
During a trip to Disney World when our son was about 10 we saw both the Weinermobile and the Hershey Kissmobile within an hour of each other.

Wish he’d made a career of it instead of politics.
Sounds like a magical day!
I don’t like their wieners, but I love the Wienermobile and the old tv ad.

Don’t EVER ask to see how the sausage is made, either!
A family friend was the ‘Spice Guy’ for Oscar Mayer’s back in the day. He told me they had a dozen different recipes for all of their cold cuts and hot dogs, etc. based upon which spices were at what prices at any given time. How they managed to always make it taste the same was pretty amazing.
Science!...or something, LOL! That said, I’d rather have a Hebrew National all-beef Kosher frank ANY day of the week!
I bet there’s more than one Goodyear blimp, too, but what do I know?
WOW! There’s a whole fleet of Wienermobiles! (I bet there’s a higher percentage of Wienermobiles that are roadworthy than F35s that are airworthy.)
Hebrew National Franks are great! Also try Boarshead franks if you can find them. They’re not kosher that I know of, but they are very, very good!
There is only 5 or 6. I have a half dozen whistles. Keep track of it here.

I have a pretty good idea. I’m not grossed out by animal parts. I make my own sausages, scrapple, and souse. That’s due to a lack of trust in sanitary conditions in industrial food manufacturing, plus I am cheap.

You are crushing me. Please don’t tell me the Tooth Faire and Easter Bunny are not real.
You didn’t know that???..............
I resent those. Two times I saw them on a lot at an event. And they do not serve any hot dogs. If you park a car like that and make people hungry you should serve dogs.
