It is with great melancholy that I report that on Monday, July 9th, 2009, the world lost Oscar Mayer, of weiner fame, at the age of ninety-five. He was the third of his name to own the famous hot dog company, which is now owned by Kraft Foods.
We owe so much to his memory. What would summer be without the pungent smell of hot dogs roasting on the grill, the juicy snap as one's mouth closes over the delectable processed meat product. Not only did Oscar Mayer got the seasonings just right, he offered so many processed meat products to choose from - Beef, "meat", turkey, chicken, whichever you chose that particular day, to round out and compliment your chosen cuisine. If you would rather have lunch meat, he made that too. Anthems were composed about his bologna. He will long be remembered and his songs will live on throughout history as a tribute to his work. Sing with me now,... "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner, yes that is what I'd truly love to be. Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner, then everyone would be in love with me..." -or- "I'd love to eat it everyday, and if you ask me why I'll say, Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A..."
Oscar Mayer, may he now RIP.
