Pabst Plans Record-Breaking Weiner Drop On Fans
Hot dogs aren’t from heaven (at least we don’t think), but they will be falling from the sky on Tuesday (July 22) in Joliet, Illinois. The professional baseball team the Joliet Slammers are partnering with Pabst to attempt the world record for most hot dogs dropped by helicopter in one hour to celebrate the latter’s newest release, Pabst Light.
The team will be dropping 2,600 packaged hot dogs for fans to enjoy in between one of the games’ inning breaks. Additionally, the Slammers and Pabst will be offering a $2.60 ticket special. Fans can get their tickets for any lawn or infield reserved seat for the night when using the promo code WIENER26 online or at the Slammers Box Office.
Along with the regularly scheduled food and drink deals the Slammers have on Tuesdays, they will be offering Pabst Light Cans for $2 to celebrate the recent release of Pabst Light.
“We’ve done a lot of wild promotions at the ballpark—but dropping 2,600 hot dogs from a helicopter for fans to eat to attempt a world record? That’s a new one, even for us,” said Night Train Veeck, Slammers EVP and Owner. “Partnering with Pabst Light to celebrate their new beer in the most absurd, delicious way possible just felt right. We’ve got beer, baseball, hotdogs, and helicopters…and at $2.60 for a ticket, what more do you need for a great Tuesday night in Joliet?”
The newly revealed Wiener Drop will take place at Slammers Stadium during their game against the Gateway Grizzlies on July 22nd at 6:35pm.
