Bimbo bread is "bambino bread"


Child = Bambino = Bimbo.



  1. Bimbo bread sponsors Philadelphia Union soccer team. The players have the word 'Bimbo' on their shirts, and this amuses me.

  2. Bimbo has kinda been a mainstay of Latino markets, smaller markets and corner groceries here in Chicago forever. I would have never thought it came from Italy though, I always thought this was a Mexican company.

  3. The word "bimbo" may have Italian origins but the Bimbo corporation is based in Mexico.

    1. You're quite correct:

      Although many of its brands can trace their histories back to the late 1800s or early 1900s, Bimbo Bakeries USA’s origins as a company began in 1994 when Grupo Bimbo, its parent company, purchased La Hacienda, a tortilla company in California. Bimbo Bakeries USA then entered the U.S. bread market in 1997 with the acquisition of Pacific Pride Bakeries of San Diego.


  4. In Britain "bimbo" means a woman who is pretty but not very clever.

    In North Texas, Bimbo Bakeries bought out Mrs. Baird's Bread, a noted company.
