They can top their hot dogs with their favorite Heinz condiments or try a new Heinz Dip Cup for a twist on the classic with a variety of sauces, including Barbecue, Ranch, Sweet & Sour and Honey Mustard.
"This year, it's such a great feeling to enjoy being with family and friends that we haven't seen in a while," said Brian Ferguson, chief merchant for Pilot Flying J. "Nothing says summertime quite like a backyard BBQ or a road trip with loved ones and an Oscar Mayer hot dog, especially a free one."
The iconic Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will make appearances at two Pilot Flying J locations in Newark and Carney's Point, N.J., on July 21 and 26, respectively.
"After the pandemic kept so many of us apart, it's time to celebrate being together again, and nothing sparks more smiles in the summer than delicious Oscar Mayer hot dogs," said Patricia Keller, marketing director at Oscar Mayer Foodservice. "We at Oscar Mayer know you can't go wrong when you start with a better dog, and we're proud to continue to be an American tradition since 1883. We hope that everyone who stops by Pilot Flying J this summer and bites into an Oscar Mayer hot dog remembers to take life a little less seriously and enjoy the delicious side of summer."
