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.

At one time, the Bimbo Bear logo had a "stiffy." Find it here: http://www.bad-candy.com/candies/rebanadas/page2.html

I live in Mexico and "Bimbo" products are awful, especially the white bread.

Meh this stuff is all over the place in oregon. Yet another sign of the times and the ongoing "invasion" from south of the border.

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).
