BIMBO brand. That's a new one on me. We were at the grocery store and saw it. The other brand I've never seen before: FUD. Ugh, it doesn't sound good at all.

Tell me Texans...are they new or old brands?

BIMBO is something from Mexico. I haven't tried anything by them yet (yeah, you'd think they'd realize a name change is in order) . I've never seen the FUD stuff.

I saw the FUD name in the deli department on a hunk of meat at HEB and Walmart.

I'm stayin away from it based on the name alone.

That bear on the Bimbo package looks an awful lot like the SnuggleSoft Bear - almost verging on infringement. This calls for a cage match.

Agreed!!! Boar's Head = quality, and taste. Boar's head is what the meat is suppose to taste like!

Yeah, Bimbo is a huge Mexican bakery company. Didn't they buy Mrs. Baird's a few years ago when they were in financial trouble? I know Mrs Bairds is still around, but I think Bimbo is the parent company. I miss Mrs Bairds now that I live in OK. You can get it here, but its never as fresh and wonderful as it is in TX.

I grew up a short distance from the Baird's Bakery in Dallas at Mockingbird/Central. When the wind blew just right, that entire part of town smelled like fresh baked bread. One of my favorite memories.

Trust me - you don't want to try Bimbo Bread. It tastes awful.

As mentioned, Bimbo and Fud are Mexican brands. You'll see them all over Fiesta stores, and sometimes at HEB.

"Fud" always reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons.. where they go to a new IKEA store in their town. The episode was making fun of all the silly looking swedish name you see there, and the cafeteria in the store was called "füd" or something.
