“Hello there! It’s 'bun'-derful to ‘meat’ you," Keagan Schlosser told visitors. "Can I help you take your picture in front of the Wienermobile?” Sweat glistening and with gleaming smiles, the drivers of an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, otherwise known as “Hotdoggers,” cheerfully greeted awestruck grocery store shoppers walking over to take pictures of their 27-foot-long, six-ton vehicle.
Schlosser and Chad Colgrove, whose Hotdogger nicknames are Chili Cheez Keags and Chadder Cheese, were one month into their yearlong stint driving the famous sausage automobile — "fresh off the grill," as Schlosser described.
They are part of an elite cohort of drivers of novelty commercial cars: oversized, eye-catching vehicles that road trip around the U.S. advertising and appearing at events. Other notable rides include the L.L. Bean Bootmobile, Planters’ NUTmobile and the retired Hershey’s Kissmobile.
