Was the driver hot-dogging? Frankly speaking, we’re not sure. But when the Wienermobile rolls over, it probably will do more than just play dead. Jaded Chicagoans may think they’d seen everything, but on Monday, it was something new. An Oscar Mayer Wienermobile turned over on the Tri-State Tollway.
Wienermobile rolls over—Not the leader of the pack!
The hot-dog-promoting rig was theoretically minding its doggy business when it mixed it up with a Hyundai sedan. The Wienermobile really wasn’t the leader of the pack this time. The driver lost control, over-corrected, clobbered yet another vehicle, finally rolling over.
One lane of the northbound tollway looked as busy as a hot-dog vendor on a New York street corner at noon. Police and emergency vehicles swarmed like flies, and the lane was shut down for more than an hour while the mess was cleaned up. Road crews probably didn’t relish their assignment, but if you cut the mustard, that’s your job.
Social media field day
Social media wags soon put on the dog. “It’s a wurst case scenario!” wrote one. Another wondered why “the bun didn’t soften the blow?” Another “bundit” posted, “So it’s essentially a Lil Smokey then?”
The dog company says the Wienermobile is “a grilled fiberglass hot dog that is resting on a lightly toasted fiberglass bun.” We’re sure they’d rather have it served up on a paper plate—not a concrete roadway.
Wienermobile rolls over, but nobody hurt. Unless you count pride.

OMG! Say it isn’t so! Not the Weinermobile . . .
I sure hope you guys enjoyed writing this article as much as i enjoyed reading it!! Thanks for spreading the news..
I agree. I relished the puns in this article.
That was one of the “corndogiest” write-ups ever!
(Couldn’t pass it up)
Crashing this hotdog vehicular icon is not something I would relish…
Too many onions, or mustard-catsup- Ketchup..Never have figured out the difference between the two…
Maybe stale bread?
Now I have the hankering for a cheese dog…..
Tillamook please…..
Thank you, Russ and Tina! 🙂 Well, you certainly enjoyed writing this story, didn’t you?!? Well, I enjoyed reading it once I was sure there were no injuries beyond pride. 🙂 Thanks again, have a great day, safe travels, and safe stays! 🙂
Russ and Tina, I was trying SO hard to try to out-pun you but as I read on, you had me stumped. I’m not going to even try. And in Chicago, one of my hometowns, yet. I had a roommate in Chicago that worked for Oscar, who was a wiener of a boss. Oh, I did it.
I didn’t know the Wienermobile was an RV….
You have to wonder if the driver was, hot dogging it down the highway.
That must have tightened the drivers buns!
🤣👍 Have a great day, Alpenliter. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
If this wasn’t such a sad story 0f a storied vehicle – the related dissertation and comments could qualify as a “joke of the day” series!
