Oscar Mayer Is changing the name of the Wienermobile.
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has been around for 87 years and they just announced that they’re changing the name to the Frankmobile.
The change is meant to promote a new recipe, which they’re rolling out this summer. The new formula for their All Beef Franks will feature a “more balanced flavor profile and iconic beefy taste.”
The hot dog packaging will be updated as well. But the actual Wienermobile-slash-Frankmobile will not be changed, other than some decals along the side that announce the name change.
It’s probably not a permanent change, but just a marketing ploy to get us to talk about the new recipe, and I guess its working.
