Volkswagen currywurst

Currybockwurst (German pronunciation: [ˈkœʁiˌbɔkvʊʁst]), commonly known as Volkswagen currywurst (pronounced [ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡn̩ ˈkœʁiˌvʊʁst]), is a brand of sausage made by the German car manufacturer Volkswagen since 1973 at the Wolfsburg Volkswagen Plant — and sold in restaurants in its six German factories as well as in supermarkets and at football stadiums — and given to Volkswagen customers. The sausage is humorously branded as a Volkswagen Originalteil "Volkswagen Original Part" under part number 199 398 500 A.

The product has been described as the most-produced of any of Volkswagen's parts, with some 7 million sausages made in 2019. In many recent years, the company has produced more sausages than cars. Volkswagen also makes a ketchup, Volkswagen Originalteil 199 398 500 B, to accompany the currywurst — slightly more viscous than traditional ketchup. A pack of sausages and a bottle of ketchup retail for approximately €9. The factory also makes a wheat-based vegan version.
