The Life Of A Wienermobile Driver

What it’s like behind the wheel of a 27-foot hot dog? Franks for asking! ( sorry )

Of all of the crazy promo vehicles currently, constantly traveling the highways of this great capitalist (shutdown) country, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is the undisputed top dog, the king of the road.

There are a total of six Wienermobiles, all always touring America at the same time. They have names: SpeedyWiener, Autobuhn, BornToBun, Bunderstruck, HellOnBuns and DriftDog. As far as miles logged goes, the Wienermobile is easily the longest running unchanged ad in world marketing history.

Every June, Kraft Foods chooses 12 recent college grads to pilot/co-pilot the wieners. Each class tours the country for a year before the next class comes in. That is the grad's life for a year — driving the Wienermobile.

Hannah Carlson is one of those 12, currently driving "Bunderstruck" with her co-pilot Mike.

Carlson is from Plymouth, Minnesota. She just graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in Strategic Communication. After her year of driving the hot dog highways of America, she hopes to land a job at a public relations firm.

Hannah: "The official title is 'Hotdogger.'"
