The Mexican Beisbol Team in the Caribbean Series comes to bat with giant BIMBO stickers on the batting helmets!

Dude, They really rock and the portions are what we were used to when we were kids.

I bought some Hostess Cupcakes a few months ago and they sucked big time.
The frosting on the top was like chewing on tar.

Yeah, that brand always catches my eye.

DUDE!

Curiosity is what makes the world interesting! That, and a good sense of humor!

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!

Well it worked! It got me to look!

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!

Once upon a time, a long time ago, when Ma was still around and good fireworks were still illegal in our neighboring states, three of us took a ride to Tennessee - where a certain brother promised there would be roadside fireworks stores just off the highway. We drove and rove, and were 20 minutes into the "if we don't find fireworks in the next half hour, we're pulling over, tossing you out and driving back home" time limit, there appeared above the highway a giant billboard:

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!

I love 'wordage' and upon further review found out that in Italian 'bimbo' might mean 'small child'-It's perjorative meaning, we all know! So, when I was driving the local freeway and saw this truck with a rather fun looking bear and the red lettering on the side, it took me a while to process the scene.

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!
