Oscar Mayer Wiener Jet
Status: Hoax
As noted by Tah in the forum, Oscar Mayer died recently at the age of 95. As a result, this picture of the Oscar Mayer corporate jet has been circulating around.



It's fake. The plane is a Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter.

I love how the Weinermobile is towing the plane!

LOL This is one for the 'fake but funny and clever' file I suspect smile

The inclusion of the Weinermobile is funny but the jet actually makes no sense (that is, not clever because the details are wrong). The car is clearly a hot dog sitting on abstracted "bun". The plane is . . . well I have no idea in hot dog terms. It has a hot dog plump top with an Oscar Mayer red body. Oscar Mayer would never make such a poorly conceived design.

Anyone else have that stupid Oscar Mayer jingle running in their heads?

@KDP - I didn't, but do now. Thanks a bunch.

I wonder if the plane is made from all of the extra parts from other planes. Hmmm.

If I ever become very rich (which gets increasingly less likely all the time), I plan to have an airplane, or at least a car, shaped like a hot dog.

Now I want an airplane shaped hot dog.
No wait, I want an iDog, the world's first usb powered hot dog.

Then you're going to change your name to Sigmund Freud and spend your days driving into and backing out of tunnels, right?

Cranky, sometimes a weiner is just a weiner.

I have seen other pics of this cargo 747-400. It has the nickname of "twinkie". The original color of the modification was yellow.

that has to be a fake. There's no way you could make a hot dog that big, even if you did mix in chicken, turkey or pork, even allowing for the increased content of shredded bone meal they allow in hot dogs these days. The bun seems plausible, tho. I live in rural Pa. and I've seen some big-ass buns around here. When will they make pork sausage jets? Oh, wait- "when pigs fly"... dar
