white: It's my pleasure to educate the uneducated. These hot dogs are nothing like actual German weiners (note the sign on the Weinermobile).
The Weinermobile would make visits to communities, which was a big deal back in the 1950's & 60's, and the driver would hand out little whistles in the shape of the Weinermobile. (Yes, I once had a weiner whistle.) You can hear a weiner whistle a couple of times in the commercial.
Oscar Mayer weiners are smooth and slimy, but a very American household staple - especially those with children.
Tube steaks! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI was completely mystified by this. Must be an American thing...
ReplyDeleteGoogle to the rescue. i'm pleased to report that Mr Mayer and his - erm - weiners never made it to these shores
;)

Jon: Only if they're grilled.

You never see or hear about that thing anymore. Needs to be brought back.
