Fort Worth, TX--(HISPANIC PR WIRE)--June 19, 2006--As the World Cup enthralls millions of viewers, Bimbo bread is helping fans show their pride. From now until the end of the tournament, popular wristbands are included inside all packages of marked Bimbo bread. Over 2.5 million bracelets come in three colors: red for passion, green for faith and white for purity. Consumers can collect all three to make the Mexican flag and show support for one of the World’s greatest soccer team.

For the same everyday low price, you can buy your favorite Bimbo bread AND show your spirit for the Mexican national soccer team.” said Juan Esaa, Bimbo brand manager. “Collect all three wristbands to make a flag and show your spirit!”

Is there anyone here who can tell us if BIMBO means something different in Spanish, than in colloquial English?

I typed it into a spanish to english translator and there was no translation. So it is bascially IDIOT bread or the IDIOT bakery

It means the same in both languages. From my dictionary: "A woman regarded as vacuous or as having an exaggerated interest in her sexual appeal." By the way, Mrs. Baird's Bread now is owned by a mexican company. That's why we stopped buying it. We've decided not to wait for O'Reilly's boycott.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the picture they put on the bread.
