Yes, I had forgotten about them, probably because I mostly know them for their cookies. That bakery was founded in 1937 by Margaret Rudkin in Fairfield, Connecticut. It was named after her family's land there, which was named for the pepperidge tree. (I have never heard <i>Nyssa sylvatica</i> called that name until this minute; I'm more familiar with it under the common name tupelo).<br /><br />Pepperidge Farm was bought by Campbell's Soup in 1961, so that's another fairly early example of corporate consolidation (and product category diversification, I guess).<br />Daughter Number Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08171356533232458827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162206974728931335.post-9585218471166922482018-03-17T12:14:08.359-05:002018-03-17T12:14:08.359-05:00Why does the terrible bread get the good art?

My mom and grandparents were specialists in cracking the codes that indicated the sell-by date.<br /><br />Brownberry is a favorite in my house. I used to make imaginary commercials about it for our kids: “Friends, is your bread weak, bland, uninspiring? Friends! Try Grown-up Bread — in the dark red package. Yes, Grown-up Bread,” etc.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162206974728931335.post-28502641825288064582018-03-17T11:29:58.803-05:002018-03-17T11:29:58.803-05:00Wow.

I don't think it was Wonder Bread, but I didn't pay that much attention to it. I really like Brownberry bread now because they don't use high fructose corn syrup in their bread. I do love Segner's art.
