The Best Day, Ever!
I had seen on the local news that the Wienermobile had visited a nearby town in central Pennsylvania and I knew that if I was ever going to see this marvelous vehicle I had better see if I could locate its next stop! So I called the Oscar Meyer hotline after looking at their website and was happy to find out that I hadn't missed my chance to see the mobile in Philly!
For the Muslins there is the journey to Mecca. For Jews it is Israel to visit the sacred Holy lands. For me, it is the the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile. I felt like I was making a spiritual voyage to some awesome, divine, wonderful manifestation of the Creator. Seriously! The wienermobile invokes a very deep happiness within me, so much that when I see it and think about how exceptional it is, I usually get misty-eyed.
I see the Wienermobile as being a symbol of immense and great Divine Joy, like the Goddess is having a hearty laugh and is celebrating. I feel profound peace thinking about the Wienermobile for it soothes my inner turmoil by bringing forth comforting thoughts and feelings. It's not so much that I recall enjoying Oscar Meyer hot dogs, but how good it feels to be able to eat and have a full tummy and to digest without incident. It means being snug and safe, soft and at ease like a contented purring kitty. It means hugging my inner child and letting her feel the excitement of pure Joy that children know all so well but that we tend to forget as adults.
Can you believe I was 10 years old before I tasted an Oscar Meyer hot dog? My mom always bought Ball Parks and that was the only hot dog my family ate. Then one very special day my mom took me and my friend to a local amusement park and there was a concession stand that served Oscar Meyer hot dogs. I was immediately hooked and I think I ate 10 hot dogs that day! After that day Ball Park dogs weren't bought again for many years.
I take my Oscar Meyer dog plain. The meat has so much flavor it doesn't need anything else. Sometimes I may eat it with a little onion, but usually I just eat it tucked in a bun.

Oh goodness! I was surfing around your site and came across this post and had to comment, even if it is waaaayyyyy late!!!
I adore the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile! I have been privleged enough to see it on several occasions and absolutely adored my OMW Whistle *tweet tweet* I last saw it in a box with my other childhood knick knacks...I am a pack rat like no other, although with moving so much only the important things are starting to survive!
As a funny, my Dad once flagged the OMW down as it was driving through my town so that the wedding party he was photographing could get their picture taken with the OMW...what luck is that I ask you!?!?!?!
