Then for about 15 years, we ate Roman Meal and really loved it. My husband drove past their day old store on his way home from work so he could easily stop by and bring it home. If they were out of that, I believe we ate Rainbow bread that had the same colored package that Wonder bread did - red, blue, and yellow. Wonder bread was advertised on the Howdy Doody show in the 195o's. I still prefer Roman Meal the rare times we can find it.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203576453126494928.post-23144929094872572042015-07-10T15:40:51.645-04:002015-07-10T15:40:51.645-04:00HoldenJ, I bet they were regional ... the tour sou...HoldenJ, I bet they were regional ... the tour sounds neat!

In 1954 we lived in Nashville, TN, and Fair Park was a popular amusement park nearby. One week the park had a contest to select a "Little Miss Sunbeam" look-a-like. I was entered in the contest, but sadly was not chosen. Every time I see a loaf of Sunbeam bread I think of my one and only pageant!Mary Huckabynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203576453126494928.post-75330018126426700562015-07-07T10:56:04.177-04:002015-07-07T10:56:04.177-04:00Bob, I am the same way with whole wheat bread -- i...Bob, I am the same way with whole wheat bread -- it is what I buy here. I might make an exception, though, for tomato sandwiches, which are best old fashioned southern style on white bread with mayonnaise. :-)<br /><br />TrishBirdhouse Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075857846666114496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203576453126494928.post-54545462437210927152015-07-07T10:28:47.250-04:002015-07-07T10:28:47.250-04:00Great research!

It is funny to me that I hated everything but white bread for a long time but now I cannot stand it and whole wheat is the only bread I like.Bob Gillilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03340502169825496889noreply@blogger.com
