Hot 2 Tot was a vehicle used by Bill Dewey for his campaign. It was first introduced in "Cat Fingers", and was later revealed to have been remodeled into a food truck by Peedee Fryman in "Letters to Lars".
Appearance[]
Hot 2 Tot is a cream colored van with a model of a head on top of it. When the van was in the possession of Bill Dewey, the head was a replica of his own, and the sides of the van had "Re-elect Mayor Dewey" written on them. There was also an additional "Re-elect" written above the windshield.
After Peedee's remodeling, the head on top has been altered to look like a potato. One of the sides has been converted into a food window from which Peedee takes orders from customers. There is also now a sign stating the new name of the vehicle.

Trivia[]

- While in motion, the van says "Ma-yor Dew-ey" continuously. However, in "The Return", it's changed to "E-va-cu-ate".
Cultural References[]
