Did you know the Oscar Myer Wienermobile broadcast part 15 AM since 1986? (Not sure if they still do)

"...The most enduring mobile, of course, is the internal-combustion wiener, which Oscar Mayer christened in 1936. In various incarnations, the gas-powered sausage roamed the country until 1977, when the company’s five-car fleet was mothballed in favor of TV advertising.

The latest version weighs as much as 140,000 hot dogs and comes loaded with GPS navigation system, relish-colored passenger seats, a sound system that blares 21 versions of the Oscar Mayer jingle (polka, rap, classical, etc.) and a low-power AM radio transmitter that broadcasts messages to passing cars...."
