Move Over WienerMobile, Oscar Mayer Has Gone One Better and Built a WienerDrone to Deliver Hot Dogs

Love it or hate it, everyone knows the infamous Wienermobile. As it rolls down the road, it always earns a few photos from passers-by and draws a crowd.

As part of Oscar Mayer’s Wienerfleet, it’s one of several vehicles built to expedite hot dog delivery to fans everywhere.

This July, they’ll add two new vehicles to the fleet, bringing new dimensions to the encased meat delivery game.

First is the WienerCycle: a three-wheeled moped with a sidecar that doubles as a hot dog warming station. The WienerDrone then takes those hot dogs and delivers them through the air to eagerly awaiting customers. That’s right, Oscar Mayer commissioned a drone to deliver ‘dogs.

The two newcomers join the Wienermobile, WienerMini and WienerRover to round out the five-vehicle lineup.

The WienerMini was a special collaboration between the British company and the hot dog giant. It was brought out of retirement this year as part of the new fleet celebrations.

The WienerCycle and Drone were both designed by Los Angeles display and effects company Flix Fx, with assistance from outside designers too.

Both will be making their first public appearance July 1 to celebrate our nation’s birthday in, where else but Weiner, Arkansas. The WienerFleet is hosting a large cookout for the entire town a few days later on Independence Day.

Expect to see the fleet make appearances across the country this summer and into fall.

The best ’70s movies: Stream these must-see classics that defined the decade
Star Wars isn't the only big hit to remember from the 70s
Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.

The 1970s are often romanticized in American pop culture for good reason. Video games started blooming for the masses, rock and disco music was all the rage, with some of the best artists of all time dominating the charts, and Hollywood ushered in a novel era of storytelling and superstars. Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, and Robert De Niro are just a few of the iconic names that made this decade one of cinema's finest yet.

It's hard to believe that this incredible period is 50 years in the rearview mirror now. Even with several new generations of filmmakers creating novel series and building on older techniques since then, the 1970s represent a legendary pinnacle for genres like the mobster film and science fiction movies. Without the special effects of today, these films from the past were forced to hone in on the essence of their story with great writing and crafty direction behind the camera. These are the best 70s movies to relive over again on streaming.

Shows like Stranger Things to binge while waiting for season 5
It's been over two years since Stranger Things 4. These shows will fill that void
Gaten Matarazzo in Stranger Things

Stranger Things is a hard series to emulate because it combines so many different genres and storytelling components into one special package. The Netflix series started out as a nostalgic tribute to 1980s science fiction as the fictional town of Hawkins becomes the center of mystery and intrigue and the home of an alternate dimension. Future seasons have added romance, horror, adventure, and comedy elements. When you take into account every element of Stranger Things, you get a show that has been taken from dozens of others and inspired future programs.

We've already had to wait over two years since the last season of the show (which had waited three years between seasons three and four.) The long hiatuses the show indulges in asks for a lot of patience from fans. We have you covered, though. If you love Stranger Things, you can count on these similar shows to at least bide the time until the show's fifth and final season arrives sometime in 2025. These are the shows like Stranger Things you'll love.
