The Hotdoggers and Wienermobile offer Oscar Mayer an unparalleled competitive advantage, delivering incremental sales, merchandising, authorizations, and mutual goodwill.

The Hotdogger Program started in 1988 and was designed to hire and develop top-talent, grow future leaders of the company, and create gamechangers, innovators, and cultural champions.
