I bought this bag of Bimbo Blanco...
The first week in March, and forgot it in my camper pantry.
Still good to go.
YUM!

Same experience I had with some Pan Bimbo Integral that I left in my trailer in Loreto while we were building our house.
I was gone at least 3 months......and when I opened it, it was fresh as a daisy!

Just like C-Rations. Good forever.
Remember the little block of bread in the can? It was as hard as a jai-alai pelota when it was "fresh" out of the tin.

I do remember that because I liked the C-Rat Ham and Lima Beans and nobody in my unit did, I always ate well out of the box.
How about those 4 Korean War Chesterfield cigarettes?

Really? Those were a favorite. We used to wire the cans to the exhaust manifold of our vehicles to heat them a bit. YUMMY when you're hungry.
I keep getting a vision of Pall Malls.....or was it Lucky Strikes?

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.

Everybody Loves Good Bimbo Bread
YUK It never molds, it never goes stale --- no way do we eat it!
The other thing that will NEVER rot is Skippy Peanut Butter even after two years in a garage ---- used for mouse traps, and still only use it for
mouse traps.

We compost everything possible, but I put that stuff in the bag for the land fill. I love my worms. (wouldn't give it to the Jays either)
