The peepmobile came to my school once and handed out free peeps! Sadly, I was not there but I have seen it driving around.

One of the Weinermobiles is usually located just off of Baymeadows Road in Jacksonville in a hotel/business park parking lot. I used to live in one of the apartments near it and pass by it everyday on the way home from work.

About 10 years ago I was on my way to work, and I saw what I call the kissmobile… It had 3 giant hershey kisses on top. Actually, the middle one was technically a hug. :P

Melissa: “The weinermobile is driven by recent college graduates? If they just graduated college, shouldnâ€™t they be starting a job in whatever field they got a degree in instead of parading around in a giant hot dog?”

In this mess of an economy, they should be happy to find ANY job! Just last month alone, Bush & Co. were responsible for America losing 51,000 jobs.

@ Anna: I’m not entirely sure where the picture came from. I’m guessing a Google Image search.

But I can assure you that the Peepster is very real. I wrote an article for Philadelphia Weekly about the Peeps factory last Easter and got to see the Peepster up close and personal after my tour!

One day in Manhattan the weinermobile pulled up at a red light as I was crossing the street. The driver gave us pedestrians little plastic wienermobile whistles!

Does anyone from the Midwest remember the Ducky Love Chicken car?
