Jerry Ringlien, best known as creator of the “My bologna has a first name” campaign, died of a heart attack Monday in Wilkesboro, N.C. He was 77.
Mr. Ringlien worked at Oscar Mayer for 23 years, rising to VP-marketing. During that time he worked on the “I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener” campaign and later revived the popular “wienermobile.”

    Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner, that is what I’d truly like to be, because if I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner, everyone would take a bite of me.

    I’ve always felt if I were given the choice between recklessly driving the Batmobile or the Weinermobile, I’d think long and hard and quite possibly choose the latter.

    Everyone would be in love with me… That is sad! God bless him. 77 is too young to die.
