At TOP Food & Drug Oct. 21

The famed Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will celebrate its 71st anniversary with stops at local TOP Food & Drug stores. The Wienermobile will be at Woodinville TOP Food & Drug, 17641 Garden Way N.E., from 9-11 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 21.

The unique vehicle depicts a hot dog resting on a lightly toasted bun. The Wienermobile is 27 feet long and 11 feet high with a weight of 14,000 pounds.

Free Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistles, unique because of their four holes, will be distributed at each site.

“Children and adults enjoy seeing what is probably the most recognizable vehicle in the country,” said Becky Skaggs, spokesperson for Haggen stores.

The first Wienermobile was built in 1936 and cruised the streets of Chicago. Since then, Wienermobiles have traveled throughout the United States and visited Canada, Japan, Puerto Rico and Spain. The current version weighs the equivalent of 1 million hot dogs and has room for six people – in mustard-and ketchup-colored seats, of course.
