Memories Rolling Down the Road

 The other day as we were touring around our lovely Hill Country area, we spotted something that took us back to many memories--and of course, our first thought when we saw this vehicle was the song that went with it: 

We were singing the tune as we pulled into the parking lot to see the Weiner mobile up close and personal.  We were just in time before the "Hotdoggers' were departing for their next location! 
We got our whistle!! Yay!!  that whistle is mark of era gone by but returning. 


Here are some fun facts about the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile:
  • There are six mobiles with two Hotdoggers that drive around the area
  • Hotdoggers are usual college seniors who commit a year to be spokesperson
  • Each year, out of the 7000 applicants only 12 are chosen
  • The Mobile began in 1936 by George Molchan
  • The vehicle is 27 feet in length and can go 110 mph
  • you can spend the night in the mobile

We had so much fun! with our whistles and singing the jingle!  Made us feel like kids again!
