Vertigo58 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 As bizarre as it seems, this crazy thing used to be seen around our city quite often. Does anyone know when about it 1st started passing through Houston? I personally remember seeing it about the late 1960's as a kid. The second you saw it man it was like New Year's to us! Not sure how mom managed to keep driving as we were just going bonkers and started breaking out in the theme song. written in 1963 by Richard D. Trentlage: Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener That is what I truly want to be 'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener Everyone would be in love with me. Oscar Mayer is also famous for their Wienermobile, which has toured the United States for over 70 years. The first Wienermobile was created in 1936.

TheNiche Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 sometimes it hangs out in the galleria near the best buy...I spotted it driving north on the West Loop one morning. It was utterly and completely sureal. I mean, it just isn't every day that you spot a giant phallic symbol perched upon buns travelling at 70mph in Houston!

Guest Marty Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 When i lived in the Greenspoint area i would see the hot dog mobile all the time mainly on the freeway going up and down the I-45 freeway like the Goodyear Blimp did in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 I can only imagine what kinds of shouts the driver gets as he cruises around! It would be kind of wild to take the wheel and floor it around the loop. Must be hell to wipe the windshield though. Imagine changing a flat, whew! not to mention parallel parking!

Oscar Mayer is also famous for their Wienermobile, which has toured the United States for over 70 years. The first Wienermobile was created in 1936. Every Saturday morning on the History Channel is a series called "America Eats." Day before yesterday the episode was all about the history of hot dogs. It explained the history of the German immigrant named Oscar Mayer and all about the Wienermobile. This coming Saturday the episode will be all about the history of Snack Foods.

Vertigo58 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 I would have mixed feelings about riding around in this thing. You could either be embarrassed as hell or be as happy as can be while people honk at you and wave. Or 3 have a few drinks and just dont care what everyone thinks? Wonder how it does on gas? What kind of garage would one use for it? So it still is lurking around our fair city huh? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
