Yeah, that brand always catches my eye. ;)
:D
Only our RICHARD could get away with this thread title!
Sure did *perk* the curiosity, didn't it?

You should have seen me the first time I saw one of the trucks rolling down the freeway with the HUGE lettering and the cute bear on the side. At first I thought it was a 'hollywood movie' thing! Then I saw the brand at the store and had to buy some!:D
Well it worked! It got me to look! :D
We have them here too, in the 7-11s. I'll have to try one. If they're anything like Tastykake and Hostess with all the preservatives, I"ll have a migraine for a week!
Resume entry:
"I drive a BIMBO Truck ...
I deliver BIMBOs."
:cool:
Right into MY neighborhood!:DQuote:

BIMBO's
Fireworks*Italian Deli*Gas station*Souvenirs*Convenience store*Gifts
Said brother was quite relieved, and we bought plenty to make Ma's July 4th celebration duly celebratory!
Nothing beats a great fireworks story. Nice to know you found a Bimbo within the alloted time frame!:DQuote:

Here's a related question....
Who does the food pictured on delivery trucks always make you hungry?
This bear, taunting you with a giant 65 mile an hour sandwich, really makes me wonder!:D
TENNESSEE ??Quote:

:p Heck I just thought Richard found another Blonde.. I then was going to ask if he only found just one Bimbo.. Ummppss who would have thought he was talking about food.. Now I am going to have to look for them.. :DQuote:
