It is nearly impossible to write about the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and not make a pun or five. There's just so much about its story to relish. (Am I done now? I hope so, but no promises.)
All word play aside, the Wienermobile is going to be at numerous area Sendik's grocery stores this month. Below is a list of places where you can find the vehicle, along with drivers "Angus Ann" and "Jumbo Dog Jimmy," who will hand out "Wienermobilia," including the iconic Wiener Whistle – while supplies last.
