I remember that during WWII Lucky strikes had to change their logo from red to green because red ink was rationed. Their magazine/ newspaper ads said
"Lucky Strikes red has gone to war" |
I thought it went from green to red because of some metal, maybe copper, in the coloring.  |
Yea you are right. My memory is wrong but I was only 6 years old then. The red was always there and it was the background that went from green to
white.

Bimbo products have been sold in N.Ca. for a long time. Before I retired and was still trucking in Ca. I used to stop at this little café in
Visalia.and Bimbo trucks were running a relay to San Francisco swaped trailers there.

I believe that Bimbo bought out Wonder Bread or the other way around, so Bimbo should be OK since Wonder Bread built strong bodies in 12 ways!
 
Then again when we lived in the outback in Honduras everyone was thrilled when Bimbo bread appeared as it was a step up from the local bread.

Not to fear, Skipjack Joe, I have been in and out of BIMBO for years-------it is one of the more sure things in the Latin business community.
Unfortunately right now I am "out".

I saw Bimbo in stores in Lima, Peru over 25 years ago and decided it was some sort of Latin America company. Now, apparently, they're making inroads
into the China market. It's amazing people will eat that stuff.
Although, those small doughnuts covered with powdered sugar went pretty well with coffee in the mornings. They come stacked on top of one another in a
light blue package.

Oooooooooooooo.......
Looks like Skippy Peanut Butter Bimbo sandwiches are the way to go. I have La Costeña salsa de fresa (jam) that has been opened and sitting for a year
on an unrefrigerated shelf. It looks and smells like the day it was opened. Peanut butter and jelly k-rats!
Peaches and fruit c-cktail were the biggies in my unit. K-bar the lid, and within 10-seconds a hundred billion insects showed up. Freakin' Hamm's and
Falstaff, and off-brand soft drinks! To this day menthol flavored grapefruit drink makes me nauseous. The "brothers" would trade just about anything
for a pack of "Kools". I don't miss it.

For some reason, Barry, that reminded me of a story of three guys inside the hull of a trimaran which turned turtle off the coast of New Zealand.
After days staying alive in a place where if one turned over, all had to turn over, they fought over half a peanut one of them found that they'd been
laying on for days. It is all a matter of perspective, eh?

Well at least the TV ads are new.
