The Wienermobile is back after short-lived name change
Channel 3000 News/AP ^ | September 22, 2023 | AP Staff

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.

Please don’t tell me the Tooth Faire and Easter Bunny are not real.

Oh, the Easter Bunny works at the White House. Its main purpose is to whisk Robinette away from crowds when he starts saying too many stupid things or zeroes in on a little kid he wants to sniff.

And Tim Curry will reprise his role as spokesman for the newly released Frankenfurter.

I’ll bet that was the only heavily armed Easter bunny you’ll see.

Thanks for the pic. It’s reassuring. I looked up the Tooth Faire. There’s more than one:

That doesn’t crush me, only America. Faggot do-nothing Republicans have been around for decades

Maybe they’re going to bring back Paul Ryan as one of their drivers again?

I made sure that each of our kids had a wiener whistle when they were kids. I found one in a desk drawer when we moved, so put it in with other kid toys to hold on to.

They should most definitely serve dogs at their events. It would be a big money maker.

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!

I saw one in Phoenix parked for lunch at a Culver's. Culver's mostly serves hamburgers, not hot dogs.

They’re pretty awesome on the inside. The interior of the one I was in 4-5 years ago has a bright, colorful space age 1960s vibe.

My dear FRiend: CA here. I fell in love with your Commonwealth, and have spent a total of about a month in the city alone, over many years,. On my first trip I asked my host about this “scrapple” I saw ads for.

Honestly, it is among the most vile things I have ever eaten. Two bites were more than enough. I don’t eat breakfast so it’s accurate to say that, over my last few trips to Philadelphia, I have had cheesesteak for every single meal.

Finally, while in college I had a summer job over 3 summers at a lunch meat plant operated by Safeway. You could have eaten off the floors. The place was absolutely immaculate at all times

You should see how scrapple is made. Pure Yum. I like mine served with just a little maple syrup. My exact measurement of a little is defined as the maple syrup never leaving the top of the scrapple slices. Otherwise it might get mixed in with your eggs. Yeah, I know it all goes to the same place, but I don’t like my scrapple too sweet. My step grandfather was a Dutchie, not Amish, but close speech wise. He liked his scrapple with ketchup. Now, that’s gross!

We do the same. Once you get over ‘thinking about what you’re actually doing’ it gets easier, LOL!

That is a brilliant idea. More Food Trucks should be shaped like the food they sell.

They will give you a Wiener Whistle if you’re a kid and ask nicely. ;)

(Yeah, yeah! Get your minds out of the gutter, LOL!)
