One of Those Things That Makes You Go Hmmm...
I went grocery shopping tonight. Because I live in a very culturally diverse area of Nashville, I'm accustomed to seeing unfamiliar foods and odd brand names as I stroll down the aisle.
I found one tonight that merited a second glance. And yes, it did say the same thing the second time I saw it.
Bimbo. When I think of bread, you know my first thought is "bimbo." The thought of the word bimbo and bread together in the same phrase bothers me. Actually, the thought of the word bimbo in any phrase kind of bothers me.
I'm realizing that Blog Explosion is sending people my way that aren't familiar with some American slang words. A bimbo is an, um, well, promiscuous woman in American slang.
Apparently it's not an offensive term to the Spanish-speaking population. I saw several families with loaves of Bimbo in their carts.
And you know me...the next time I buy bread, I'm buying Bimbo! Nothin' like a bite of buttery Bimbo.

Good stuff.
"Nothin' like a bite of buttery Bimbo" is a quote in my book and is good enough for the HFO quoteboard...it would help if I had a last name for you to send me, and I'll put you on!

Oh dear, I just visited the Bimbo website. *snicker* Bimbo Bear! Bimbo Bear is cute and as an added bonus, Bimbo Bear is described as playful. Then there is this tastey morsal about Bimbo Bear: "The bear has become a symbol for the Quality, Freshness and Service."
Thank you Bimbo!

I just bought my first package of Bimbo bread on Sunday -- you should try it with Nutella!

I was introduced to Bimbo Bread as a teenager doing minor construction in Mexico -- nevermind that it was a Baptist church mission trip, I had to snicker and giggle along with all my buddies on the trip. Since then, I still snicker and giggle.. but now, with fond memories. Thanks for the fond memory jog : )
