Oscar G. Mayer died yesterday. He was 95. He outlived a wife, married a second, and saw his company reach the billion dollar mark. That’s gotta be proof those hot dogs are good for you. And if you can’t sing along with this, then you don’t know much about advertising. I guess I WOULD want to have a conversation with this brand.

It’s going to be stuck in my head all day! Thankfully we’re having a BBQ at work on Friday, so I shall satisfy the hot-dog craving…

Truly a masterpiece – we’re still singing it how many years later?? And the whistle – who among us hasn’t wanted a hot dog whistle at some time in our childhood?
