CHICAGO – The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile was ticketed after it was left parked illegally on a downtown Chicago thoroughfare, according to the Web site www.forbes.com. The 27-foot fiberglass sausage was ticketed after its driver parked it on Michigan Avenue and left it on the side of the six-lane road with the hazard lights blinking.

Parking on a street marked “Parking/Standing Prohibited Anytime” is a $50 violation.

Kraft spokeswoman Sydney Lindner said the Wienermobile is on a nationwide tour promoting a contest to sing the Oscar Mayer jingle in a commercial.
