Oscar Mayer's Funeral Wish -- No Wienermobile

The famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has proudly made appearances at funerals of past members of the Mayer family -- but don't expect to see it at Oscar's.

Oscar Mayer's Funeral Wish -- No Wienermobile

A rep for Oscar Mayer told us Mr. Mayer -- the grandson of the original Oscar Mayer -- requested the Wienermobile not make an appearance because "it would be too much of a spectacle." Mayer's wishes were for a small private funeral.

Oscar died Monday -- he was 95.

52. A hot dog (frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie) is a moist sausage of soft, even texture and flavor, often made from mechanically recovered meat or meat slurry. Most types are fully cooked, cured or smoked. It is often placed hot in a special purpose soft, sliced hot dog bun

55. I saw the Wienermobile about 30 years ago at a shopping center grand opening. It was pretty cool. Even got to look inside of it. Then I went home and looked down at my own weiner and I thought I got short-changed.

57. Anyone that was a kid in the '60's has got to remember that cool weinermobile coming to a market in your neighborhood. It would show up at a market near my house and you could go into the weinermobile for a tour. There weren't many fun things to do then like there is now.
