Carl Mayer, nephew of the company's namesake, created the first Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in 1936. In the years since, more than a dozen Wienermobiles have promoted the brand at stores, parades and festivals. Spokesman George Molchan, portraying the character "Little Oscar," traveled with the Wienermobile from 1951 to 1987. Today the vehicles are accompanied by brand spokespeople and drivers known as "Hotdoggers."
