Not precisely on topic, but it's funny that this came up.

Watching the NASCAR race this afternoon, I saw an ad for Crisco.....

Crisco Olive Oil. Strikes me about the same as Gourmet Coffee at McDonald's.

All I can think of when I think of Crisco is cans of vegetable lard.

Me too! I thought I could never by EVOO or any kind of oil from them. What do they know about oil, anyway? Crisco was a staple in our house, growing up. *Shivers at the memory*

CM.

The ad you posted is asking us to buy Bimbo bread made with real honey!

Yes, I question companies that 'expand' their product lines.

LOL,

Like the RainX stuff you put on the windshields to bead rain off the glass.
Why do I need the official RainX windshield wipers?

I can remember Mom *scooping* out a cup from the ole Crisco LARD can while
cooking or baking ... she made a LOTTA Good Things with that stuff!

The babies arses were slathered (well, lightly coated) with Crisco when the diaper rash had begun! That or regular lard!

--------------------------------

In order to research the brand, I purchased a package of Bimbo "orejas" or ears!

They are a flaky, buttery, thin cookie that you may compare to a croissant. Except the texture is firmer.

It does taste like the butter cookies you get from the round tins around the holiday.

Not overpoweringly sweet-just right.

With glass of milk? 9.9!
