Hundreds of hungry shoppers got up close and personal with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile at a Suffolk Food Lion on Saturday.

The hot-dog-shaped vehicle visited the Holland Road store to deliver smiles, stickers, coupons, Wienie Whistles and samples of Oscar Mayer hotdogs. Kids and kids-at-heart waited in line to play cornhole for the chance to win a whistle. Parents took photos of their kids with hotdog-shaped cutouts and marveled at the 60-hotdog-long, 24-hotdog-high and 18-hotdog-wide vehicle.

Brandon Upright and his wife, Cindy, brought their children, Grace, 8, and Nicholas, 5, to see the Wienermobile. “I’m glad we caught up with it,” he said.

The Wienermobile — which bears a Wisconsin license plate emblazoned “OUR DOG” — was supposed to visit the Godwin Boulevard store Saturday morning, but a last-minute schedule change kept it away. Shoppers who were able to ketchup with it at the Holland Road store relished the opportunity.

“They’re shocked; some people don’t think it’s a real thing,” said Josie Balderrama, 22, one of 12 Hotdoggers that work in two-person teams navigating six versions of the Wienermobile on a coast-to-coast wienie roast. She said many people think it only exists in Oscar Mayer commercials until they see it in person.

Those who saw it when they were a kid — various versions of the vehicle have been in existence since 1936 — often reminisce fondly, Balderrama said.

“To a lot of people, it was something greater,” she said.

The Hotdoggers are on a mission to spread the word about Oscar Mayer’s new hotdogs that are made with no artificial preservatives, no added nitrates or nitrites and no byproducts, Balderrama said.

They had connected with a lot of people on their Virginia tour, Balderrama said, which included stops in Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Williamsburg prior to Saturday’s Suffolk event. Stops in Smithfield and Carrollton were also planned before the Wienermobile left town.
