− There is a new addition to the fan experience at Kinnick Stadium: Der Viener Schlinger, a Wimmer's air-powered hot dog cannon.

The University of Iowa’s partnership with Wimmer’s Meats has cooked up a new idea. The compressed air-powered hot dog gun will be operated by the school’s spirit squad to give fans a chance to catch the food.

A look at the Der Viener Schlinger, a Wimmer's air-powered hot dog cannon.


The promotion is scheduled to be brought to fans starting on Kids’ Day at Kinnick on Saturday. Gates open to the public at 11 a.m., with open practice beginning at noon.

Iowa’s regular-season opener is against Utah State on Sept. 2.

The hot dog-shaped gun features grill marks and is topped with fake ketchup and mustard. One side of the bun has the Wimmer’s logo, along with the phrase “Der Viener Schlinger.” There are also multiple Hawkeye logos on the bun.
 
I think the metrodome use to do this.

If I recall the hotdog often unraveled mid flight causing a live wiener ejecting.
