That's right Oscar G. Mayer, retired chairman of the Wisconsin-based meat processing company that bears his name, has died at the age of 95. He died Monday at Hospice Care in Fitchburg. Mayer retired as chairman of the board in 1977 at age 62 soon after the company recorded its first $1 billion year. The company was later sold to General Foods and is now a business unit of Kraft.

Mister Mayers body was taken to the funeral home where it was promptly sliced into individual slices and hermetically sealed in a plastic wrap. The body was transported to the cemetery inside of the wienermobile. And that's no bologna.
