Fortune: The nostalgia-heavy vehicle—a 27-foot-long hotdog on wheels—was in Las Vegas over the weekend for a series of Super Bowl-related events.
However, on Friday morning, crew members were doubtful they would make it to a 10 a.m. appearance after discovering the Wienermobile’s catalytic converter had been stolen overnight, Las Vegas CBS affiliate KLAS TV reported.
According to the news station, the wiener-shaped vehicle was towed to Penske Truck Rental, where mechanics installed a temporary converter that allowed its famous “Hotdoggers” to drive it to its 10 a.m. event.
Spokespeople for Oscar Mayer and its parent company Kraft Heinz were not immediately available for comment when contacted by Fortune.
Joseph Rodriguez, Penske’s parts administrator, told KLAS TV he was a little shocked when he turned up to work and found the Wienermobile sitting in the shop.
“A hot dog truck, no way,” he said. “Imagine a huge hot dog in the middle of your bay. There’s all these other trucks and you got to work on this.” MORE
“It’s a huge problem”
That’s what SHE said.
Somebody touched their weiner?
Boy, talk about being violated.
I would let the jack down on anybody I caught doing that.
Oh shit, Kami deep throated it?
The wiener-mobile has now been circumcised.
They gave it some ketchup, even threw it the mustard, but it still dogged.
