Is it a uniquely American cultural peculiarity to promote your food brand by driving a giant version of a sausage or spud around the country? Atlas Obscura looks at how Blue Diamond's Nutty Cruiser (a 20-foot-long almond on wheels with a nut-shooting cannon on its front) is joining the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and the Big Idaho Potato Truck on the road. “It is a very smooth ride,” says marketer Ralph Failla. “[The drivers] said it feels like driving on air.” Tell us in the comments if your country has a Poutine Machine or Camembert Camion (or make up your own version for our collective entertainment).
