Later, the founders would find out that bimbo is an Italian slang for children (shortened from bambino), and that in China the word for bread (面包, miànbāo) is similar to the name of the brand.</text></comment>

I only recognize 3 of those brands, and I can&amp;#x27;t even be sure I&amp;#x27;ve ever eaten more than one of those.  Maybe they are big only in certain regions?</text></comment>
