Bimbo Bread

Actually, Grupo Bimbo [wiki], the baking company whose truck you see in the photo above, is the fourth largest food corporation in the world! The word "bimbo" doesn't have any meaning in Mexican Spanish - they just thought it sounded good!

And before you made fun of them, just remember that they made $5.3 billion in sales in 2006. That's a whole lot of bread.

I don't know if you sell any kind of shirts to the public, but I would love one! I've seen soccer teams with the logo, probally sponsored by Bimbo. If you sell to the public please please let me know. 830-714-7277.

I (partially) grew up in southeast Mexico (near Tulum). "Bimbo" still means "company that makes awesome-tasting bread" to me (as opposed to any other meaning).

That's not so special, they've been trying to burn it for years but as it turns out not even fire wants SEGA these days. That's why they're using it as the heat shield on the new space shuttles that's being developed.
