NEW ULM -- The iconic Oscar Mayer Wienermobile stopped by the Kraft plant, Home of Velveeta Cheese, in New Ulm for a two-day visit. It was a courtesy call of sorts -- both Velveeta and Oscar Mayer products are owned by the Kraft Heinz company.
Kraft employees and their families were treated to a hot dog and a tour of the famous rolling hot dog, which is one of six touring the Midwest. It is driven by Keila, from McAllen, Texas, and Shelby, from Scottsdale, Ariz., two recent college grads who are among the few and the proud selected to be hotdoggers for a year's tour, presumably after undergoing a strenuous grilling by the company.
