23-foot-long ‘Wienermobile’ rolls into Colorado for weeks-long visit
[ad_1]
DENVER (KDVR) — A huge hot dog on wheels is heading to Colorado with its first stop on Thursday.
If you’re not familiar with the 23-foot-long American icon, it’s the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile — the hot dog company’s slightly odd way of advertising.
The Wienermobile was created in 1936. By 1988, Weinermobiles were hitting the road all across America, according to Oscar Mayer’s website.

Almost 100 years later, these cars are still spotted all over the country, and one of them will be in Colorado for the next two weeks.
Starting on Thursday, the hot dog on wheels will be in the Centennial State handing out wiener whistles, taking pictures and playing games at each stop.
