The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is touring Myrtle Beach, SC. Here’s how to get an iconic pic
The larger-than-life Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is traveling the Myrtle Beach area this weekend, but it won’t stay long.
“Hotdoggers” Cooper “Coop Dog” Albert and Kaitlyn “Corndog Kate” Goldstein, are driving the Wienermobile to several scheduled appearances where fans can get up close to the massive hot dog, collect one of the signature weenie whistles and pose for an iconic picture.
Where can you catch the Wienermobile?
After its “Halloweenie” appearance at the Cooper House’s trunk-or-treat event Thursday, the Wienermobile still has three remaining stops around the Grand Strand before it rolls out of town.
On Friday, Nov. 1, the Wienermobile will be at EdVenture Myrtle Beach in the Market Common from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The children’s museum is located at 4005 Howard Ave.
After its stop at the children’s museum, the Wienermobile will park at JB’s Annual Fall Bash from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 10635 Ocean Highway. The Nov. 2 event will also feature live music and a silent auction.
The last Wienermobile appearance in the Myrtle Beach area will be at Publix at Forest Square. Fans can stop by at 2170 Oakheart Road on Nov. 3 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Will there be hot dogs?
Each wienermobile appearance is different, depending on the host and the event.
“Sometimes there’s games and stuff provided. Sometimes we’re just adding to the atmosphere, taking pictures, we’re spreading smiles, giving out coupons, playing games and, of course, giving out iconic wiener whistles,” Albert said.
While visitors can always count on the Wienermobile for wiener whistles, hot dogs aren’t a guarantee.
“We don’t always give out hot dogs,” Albert said. “That’s usually the vendor’s responsibility to bring them, but we always encourage the vendors to bring them because it always adds to the adventure.”
What’s the best way to get a photo?
No matter what the event, hot dog fans can expect a great photo opportunity with the Wienermobile.
To photograph the iconic vehicle in its entirety, Albert and Goldstein recommend posing off-center of the Wienermobile and capturing the picture at an angle. If your phone or camera allows you to zoom out with a 0.5 or 0.6 lens, that can also help you get the entire Wienermobile in frame.
For those who want to get extra-goofy in their pictures, the Wienermobile also brings cutouts to pose as a hot dog or, for October, a spooky “mummy dog.”
