An Oscar Meyer Wienerwagen rolled over on a highway in Chicago Monday morning.

Fortunately for those who caught the recent Wienerwagen visit to Quincy, the rolled over Wienerwagen in Chicago was but a mini Weinerwagen based on a Mini Cooper and thus not the full-sized one that visited Quincy and thus is instead one of a number of Wienerwagens of various sizes operated by Oscar Meyer.
Even so, Quincy is familiar with mini wieners as well as one in particular.
Unfortunately, all too familiar.
Talk about a sausage getting into a real pickle! It’s like the hot dog mobile decided to embrace its inner daredevil and flip its lid. Maybe it was trying to audition for the next Fast & Furious movie.
I can just imagine the scene: the Wiener car barreling down the highway, swerving to avoid a rogue mustard packet, and then BAM—it’s toppled over, ketchup squirting everywhere. You’d think they would have beefed up the safety features on that thing.
What’s next? The Planters Peanut Mobile doing donuts in a Walmart parking lot? The world of branded vehicles has officially gone off the rails. I guess it’s true what they say: when the Wiener car hits the fan, everyone ends up in a bit of a mess.
In any case, it’s a bumpy road out there for novelty vehicles. Maybe it’s time for Oscar Mayer to reconsider their design—perhaps something a bit more aerodynamic and less prone to rolling over like an overcooked frank. Until then, keep your eyes peeled for runaway sausages on the highway.
