See The Weird, Wild, Wienermobile In Massachusetts This Weekend
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in Massachusetts? In this economy? Yes, it’s true. And it might even be coming to your town.
There hasn’t been this much buzz around the Wienermobile since Oscar Mayer rolled a half-dozen of them out to canvas the U.S. back in 1988. Now, one of those iconic Wienermobiles is rolling into a handful of Massachusetts towns and cities.
The timing is just right. It’s July, after all. Summer in New England. Prime hot dog grilling (and eating) season. And with the 999 Challenge back in the zeitgeist, it seems like everybody’s got glizzys on the mind. So let’s find the Wienermobile!

Wienermobile in Massachusetts: The Legacy
Fun fact: the folks that drive the Wienermobile? They’re called Hotdoggers. Yes, I understand that’s pretty close to a pretty ribald term. But we’re keeping this family-friendly. Just last year, CBS Boston did a short piece on what it takes to become a Hotdogger.
So while you’re too late to make the Class of ’24, maybe it’s something you can shoot for next year. In the meantime, bone up on your glizzy skills with the 999 Challenge below.
