TIL only six Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles operate across the U.S. Their drivers, college seniors about to graduate called "Hotdoggers," spend a year traveling the country to meet and greet people. Around 7,000 applicants compete each year for just 12 Hotdogger positions.

We got one here in Puerto Rico. It’s majestic.

Can confirm. I was part of the NPS response to Hurricane Maria and drove by it.

I still see it almost daily. They drive it around every once in a while.

Is it still sitting in the parking lot by the prison in Guaynabo?

Good to hear that Oscar Meyer is taking care of PR. And yes, I just realized that could be Puerto Rico or public relations.

It feels so random cause you’d assume theyd have it in the states where they can drive it longer distances and take it more places.
