| - Foghorn Leghorn appeared in two commercials for the company in 1980 and 1981.
- Not surprisingly, Oscar Mayer was born in Bavaria, Germany, the hotbed of tubular meat since the first ancient butchers looked down at the rubble of discarded organs and miscellaneous shavings at their feet and pondered, "How can I sell this?" Like most Bavarians, and indeed like most young boys worldwide, young Oscar's fascination with the wiener began early in life. Beginning from the age of two, it was not uncommon for Oscar to spend many hours of solitary amusement, playing with his meat. His parents, a progressive couple highly influenced by the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, allowed Oscar a wide berth to explore and develop his natural abilities. While, strictly speaking, he never developed prowess as an , he was given to participating in long "marathons", the likes of which would probably draw curious onlookers and perhaps a few enthusiastic spectators, but also the attention of the police were he ever to have performed them publicly. At the age of 14, Oscar moved to America after the family grocery business failed. As it turns out, even in a liberal society, there is a limit as to how much frankfurter fondling is considered acceptable. Customers were so skeptical about the handling and travel history of the items for sale in the Mayer family store, they eventually deserted completely. Oscar worked in a number of butcher shops in Detroit, but was fired in each case for a variety of reasons, among them knocking the knackwurst, slapping the salami, slamming the ham, choking the chicken, and pounding the pepperoni. As had happened in Bavaria, eventually his reputation became too great, and no one would hire him. In 1876, he moved to Chicago but his obsessive pork play again landed him in trouble, first with Armour Meat Packing Company ("We're concerned about what you're packing, and where...") and later the Kohlhammer Meat Market ("Go hammer your Kohl somewhere else, thanks."). It was a chance meeting with his Cousin Siggy in 1892 that would change everything.
