An Attempt At A Greener Weiner?

To celebrate its 125th anniversary, Oscar Mayer gave its the "Hotdoggers"—the people who drive the Weinermobile fleet—a new ride. Introducing "LTL LINK," the Mini Cooper S Wienermobile, a 15-ft long  and 8-ft high publicity stunt. A number of companies have been turning to the Mini Cooper for promo vehicles, notably Red Bull, and it certainly seems to make sense given the rising costs of powering these rolling billboards. But Hotdogger Big Dog Bill disputes the shift to a greener Weinermobile, maintaining that the Mini was build as a simple stunt to bring attention to the company’s anniversary. With the help of former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, the mini meat rolled all of 40ft to join the current fleet of Wienermobiles during a ceremony in Times Square last week. In case you were wondering, a full-size Weinermobile spans 27 feet long and 11 feet high, and sits on a W-4 Chevy truck chassis.
