Police in Wisconsin grilled the driver of a sausage-shaped “Wienermobile” after it was pulled up for a minor traffic offence.
A picture of the 27ft novelty car promoting hotdog brand Oscar Mayer was posted on social media, triggering a torrent of puns.
The car had failed to make way for an emergency vehicle.
Nebraska State Patrol tweeted: “Glad those law dogs were able to ketchup.
"To be frank, the #MoveOver law keeps traffic furter away from officers and prevents wurst situations.
"Alright, that's out of our system. Have a great day on the bun, err, road."
CPS Public Affairs added: "Frankly, we relish the opportunity to ketchup on the law that not moving over, doesn't cut the mustard.
"No matter what you're driving: when you see the flashing lights, #MoveOver."
A spokesman for Oscar Mayer wrote on Twitter: "Every Hotdogger who gets behind our 27ft hotdog on wheels goes through extensive road training, but from time to time our buns get in the way.
"The safety of everyone on the Hot dog highways is of the utmost importance to us & we’re working to make sure this doesn’t happen again."
