  Part of my accounting job involves calling the "Bimbos" once a month to reconcile our accounts. The ladies actually have a sense of humor about it. The parent company of Oroweat if I'm not mistaken. Hey, any publicity is good publicity.

  Sadly, I had some professors in my business courses (including marketing) who actually believed the Nova myth and used it as a case study in class. Amazing how you can get your PhD or DBA and not know how to use Snopes, or basic common sense.

  To be fair, they bought into the market to become a major player in the US in 2008. Before that, they were still a massive Mexican baking company.
