Custom designed with unique Wienermobile-inspired features, Super
Hotdogger defies gravity, going where the beloved icon on wheels cannot.
Super Hotdogger’s state-of-the-art JetPack is so rare that more people
have walked on the moon than have flown with this technology. To ensure
smooth Oscar MayerHot Dog delivery, Super Hotdogger sports a
belt equipped with aerodynamic hot dog carrying cases and a uniquely
designed helmet that zeroes in on hungry targets on the ground.
“Oscar Mayerwill stop at nothing when it comes to providing
quality hot dogs to fans everywhere and our innovative WienerFleet is an
integral part of our mission to get a better hot dog in every hand,”
said Matt Riezman, Brand Manager for Oscar Mayer. “With the debut
of Super Hotdogger and last year’s WienerDrone, the future of flying hot
dog delivery is bright.”
Last summer, Oscar
Mayerproved its commitment to better hot dogs by
removing all added nitrates and nitrites (except those naturally
occurring in celery juice), by-products and artificial preservatives
from every single Oscar MayerHot Dog. Now, the brand is
literally elevating its mission to get a better hot dog in every hand
with the launch of Super Hotdogger. The flying hero is dedicated to
delivering new Oscar MayerPork and ChickenHot Dog
offerings made with meat that is 100 percent ground pork and 100 percent
ground chicken.
Weather permitting, Super Hotdogger will take his first public flight at
the Seaport District between Pier 16 and 17 today at noon and 3 p.m. EDT
where fans can catch the sights and sounds of Super Hotdogger, enjoy
complimentary Oscar MayerHot Dogs and take a tour of the iconic Wienermobile.
For those who can’t join the fun in New York City, Oscar Mayer is
offering up a year’s supply of free hot dogs, delivered by the Wienermobile,
for lucky fans who share a photo of how they top their Oscar Mayer
Hot Dog. Visit the brand’s Twitter (@OscarMayer)

To give fans even more ways to enjoy hot dogs this summer, the brand is
partnering with Food Network Star, co-host of The Kitchen and

to create delectable Oscar MayerHot Dog recipes inspired by
Super Hotdogger.
