Hot dog! The Wienermobile is back after short-lived name change

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 07:05:25 GMT

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Some names are just the wurst.Just four months after announcing that the hot dog-shaped Wienermobile was changing its name to the Frankmobile, the one-of-a-kind wiener on wheels is reverting to the original.Oscar Mayer announced Wednesday on Instagram that the Frankmobile is toast. The Wienermobile rides again.The name change announced by The Kraft Heinz Company in May was meant to pay homage to the brand’s 100% beef franks and their new recipe. For fans of the original name, the change was, frankly, ridiculous.“It’s been a franktastic summer!” the Instagram post said. “But like you, we missed this BUNderful icon.

The report says inspectors almost always returned within a year if the first inspection found a ...
