There may be a car that stands out more than one Cybertruck — and the chance to drive it for a year is now open.
Kraft Heinz and Oscar Mayer are hiring “Hotdoggers” to hit the highway with the company's 27-foot-tall mobile hot dog, affectionately known as the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
What is a Hotdogger?
The hot dog on wheels first hit the streets in 1936, and the Hotdogger program began in 1988. The company says it's looking for a “Customer, Consumer and Social Media Superstar who drives store/event traffic and is a leading content contributor in all forms of media” (And also someone with a valid driver's license, of course.)
The 12-month gig starts and ends the first week of June and includes two weeks of training, regular meetings with the company's advertising, public relations and social teams, as well as being “the face of a multi-billion dollar brand”. Hotdogger will also appear in media spots.

“As a former hotdogger myself, I can confirm that the coveted position is one of the most unique experiences available to graduates today,” said Molle Twing, senior brand manager, experience, for Oscar Mayer. in a statement. “Me more than half of General Z aspiring to be an 'influencer', our Hotdogger program is a great first step for anyone interested in exploring a career in social media or brand marketing.
