Makes the best toast. I used to do a commercial to myself or anyone who was around when I made toast out of Butternut.

(big smile, holding buttered toast with a bite out of it) Butternut! It's the best bread you can toast! (take another bite and give a thumbs up.)

I do a commercial for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter at the same time: Really, I just cannot BELIEVE this is not butter.

Made me smile.

Living with me is a laugh a minute, even if it's just me living with me. I continue to do commercials and generally carry on my variety show AT ALL TIMES. :lol:

Except when it's Drama Hour. ;)

Thanks Pete. :)

Recently we bought some Bimbo bread at Sams. (Yes, this is really a thing) Don't bother. It's dense and dry. Not what I want for a Wonder substitute.

Bimbo is the biggest baker in the world, their US brands include;
» arnold

Hmm. You'd think they'd be better at it, then.

They're the InBev of the bread world.

C'mon Pete, it's Sams club, they're looking for cheap. :haha:

I suppose so. But we've bought many things from Sam that tasted fine.

This taste assessment from a man who freely admits to being unwilling to make his own coconut milk Greek yogurt?

Consider the source, indeed!
:p:

Recently we bought some Bimbo bread at Sams. (Yes, this is really a thing) Don't bother. It's dense and dry. Not what I want for a Wonder substitute.

But it is an eligible purchase for WIC and food stamps ... says so on the shelf in the welfare supermarket.

I drove past the Stroehman factory some months back (which means it was probably over a year ago) and was very surprised to see Papa Stroehman's face off the sign, replaced by the nowhere near as personable Bimbo bear.

My other great regret was the closing down of the Wonder Factory. It was on my way to college (and pretty much darn near anywhere else south of me). I used to love getting stuck at that traffic light and be totally enveloped in the aroma of Wonderbread.

That's Bimbo, the first pet I can remember.

I don't think y'all would like his loaves near as much.

As far as the lightbulbs are concerned ... I'm sticking with the real kind. I like having enough light to be able to read without straining.
