But it is an eligible purchase for WIC and food stamps ... says so on the shelf in the welfare supermarket.
I drove past the Stroehman factory some months back (which means it was probably over a year ago) and was very surprised to see Papa Stroehman's face off the sign, replaced by the nowhere near as personable Bimbo bear.
My other great regret was the closing down of the Wonder Factory. It was on my way to college (and pretty much darn near anywhere else south of me). I used to love getting stuck at that traffic light and be totally enveloped in the aroma of Wonderbread.
