Raw Dog: The Naked Truth about Hot Dogs | Jamie Loftus

According to an article in Entrepreneur magazine, Oscar Mayer is changing the name of the iconic Weinermobile to the Frankmobile. They say it's to promote their new all beef frank hot dogs, but I wonder. Is anyone offended by the name Weinermobile?? Am I "unwoke" if I think you should leave the Weinermobile alone? #savetheweinermobile

AmyG We actually ran into the weinermobile (I say keep the name) almost 20 years ago in a hotel parking lot in California. We have a great family photo with it (somewhere). 1y

Susanita I don‘t think Rep. Anthony Weiner helped the case. 1y

Bookwormjillk @AmyG that‘s funny @AmyG Our run in was at a hotel too. Could care less about the name 🤷‍♀️ 1y

CBee I‘m not offended by it. I mean, I have a dachshund and they are still called weiner dogs. Are we going to retire that too? 😂🤦‍♀️ 1y

dabbe Looked this up. Here's what I found:
wIEner = 1. a frankfurter or sausage. Informal: a penis
wEIner = Informal: an awkward, weak, or ineffectual person.

So, is it the spelling? They've spelled it as wEInermobile. If they'd just go to wIEnermobile, no one shoul be triggered, unless “penis“ is too overwhelming. 🤣(though I love the name and think they should keep it, IMHO). My school district wouldn't even let the wienermobile on any property. 😯🤣 1y

RamsFan1963 @dabbe You are correct, it was my mistake. It should be spelled wienermobile not weinermobile. I don't have a problem with it either way, but just for clarification, it is spelled wie not wei as I posted it. 1y

dabbe @RamsFan1963 You're not alone! The Oscar Meyer people have spelled it that way, too! So have I! So has a lot of people! I wonder if that's one reason why they're changing it--to avoid any and all confusion. I don't care either way myself--I love it as the wienermobile! 1y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick They should just keep it. It'll be at least 25 years before anyone outside of Oscar Mayer employees actually calls it the Frankmobile. #JusticeForTheWeinermobile 1y
