The ice pop is positioned as a first-of-its-kind product that is arriving at select Popbar locations for $2 each, but only while supplies last. The treat is said to feature the smoky flavor notes of Oscar Mayer wieners and is topped with a swirl of mustard. The product is likely to be a hit amongst foodies seeking out unexpected flavor experiences to enjoy in place of traditional alternatives. The Oscar Mayer 'Cold Dog' is being offered for consumers to sample at a variety of locations in New York City and the Jersey Shore. Curious foodies can pick one up from the [Wienermobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankmobile), which has been given a frigidly themed makeover.
