Oscar Mayer is gearing up to celebrate the 4th of
July by adding two new vehicles to its "WienerFleet" which currently
consists of the Wienermobile, WienerMini, and WienerRover.
First up, the WienerCycle is a three-wheel moped
which is described as "ideal for tricky urban deliveries." The moped
is powered by an 8.5 hp engine and it can hold up to eight hot dogs in
its sidecar warming station.
Of course, the real coup de grâce is the new
WienerDrone that is being billed as the world's first "unmanned hot
dog-carrying aircraft." The drone can carry one hot dog at a time and it
can travel up to 1.6 km at attitudes of 365 meters. The
WienerFleet will soon be headed to Weiner, Arkansas where the company plans to
host a 4th of July party for the town's residents.
According to Oscar Mayer head of marketing Greg
Guidotti, "We’re committed to getting our new hot dog in everyone’s hands
– and going to great lengths to do this. We knew that was a job for more than
just our existing Wienermobile so we’ve expanded our Oscar Mayer fleet,
ensuring every American can taste the new recipe because we believe everyone
deserves a better hot dog.”
