Volkswagen sold 6.12 million brand new cars all over the globe in 2014, but the number “VW Currywurst” they sold was even higher. I knew already from a couple of factory visits that Volkswagen in Wolfsburg had their own butchery, where they made the workers life time favorite “currywurst” a kind of sausage that taste not bad at all with the Volkswagen Ketchup (yes they make ketchup as well!) .
The “currywurst” is available in two sizes (12.5 and 25cm long) and production increased by no less as 10% with a 6.4million units sold during 2014!!! besides the “currywurst” Volkswagen make also a couple of other “wurst” so total “wurst” production came over 7.8million.
Most of these “wurst” is eaten in different VW factory cantina’s as lunch, but in Germany all the “wurst” have their own proper part n° (Originalteil) and principly can be ordered at any dealership (originalteil).
We couldn’t trace the partnr’s so far….
But there is more, as cherry on the cake sauce on the wurst, Volkswagen produced and sold no less THAN 536,826 kilograms of tomato sauce to serve with the wurst…
In total over 30 employees work in the butchery and they produce Volkswagen wurst for over 40 years. They even produce a vegetarian wurst but that’s what they in the factory say, no surf, no turf….
