Kid dresses up as hot dog in school picture, gets surprise visit from Oscar Mayer

Jake Arsenault and his friends were surprised with a ride to the movies Monday in the Oscar Mayer 'Wienermobile'.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — A kid from Maine was surprised with a trip to the movies in the Oscar Mayer 'Wienermobile' Monday afternoon, after the school photo of him dressed in a hot dog costume went viral earlier this month.

The post was shared more than 32,000 times on Facebook.

Jake Arsenault's dad dared the Biddeford Intermediate School fourth grader to take the picture, never expecting the school to let him do it.

"The school let him do it, and I couldn't be happier," Jakes's father, Craig Aresenault said.

Jake and his friends piled into the 'Wienermobile' in Scarborough where they were taken to Smitty's in Biddeford to see the Addams Family movie. It made the trip from New York this morning.

"This is beyond amazing," Craig Arsenault said. "We never expected this to happen, but I am so glad he can check something like this off of his bucket list so early."

"It's so cool," Jake Arsenault said. "My friends were really excited when I told them."

Oscar Mayer also gave Arsenault a 'Honorary Hotdogger Dujour' certificate, and named him "Jumbo Frank' Jake.
