Volkswagen Originalteil Sausages

In 1973, the company started making the currywurst sausages, known as “item no. 199 398 500 A” in the Volkswagen factory, at the company headquarters in Wolfsburg. Meant as a breakfast or lunch item in the company’s cafeteria, the sausages were served whole or chopped up and tossed with Volkswagen’s own factory-made curry-flavored ketchup. While the iconic Beetle flits in and out of existence (VW has stopped or threatened to stop production several times in the bug’s life), the Originalteil, which the company recognizes as its “most popular non-vehicle part,” curries on.
