CONTENTS: Although the largest wholesale baker in the U.S., this Ding Dong company apparently doesn't have its own Website yet. I dare you to find one of its 65 local bakeries. While you're looking, amuse yourself with these Twinkies links. Twinkies' 72nd birthday will be celebrated on or near April 1, 2002. Jimmy Dewar of the (then) Continental Bakery, said, "Twinkies was the best darn-tootin idea I ever had." IBC headquarters: As of December 2001, Nestle Purina PetCare owns about 30 percent of IBC. Wonder what's in Wonder Bread now? TWINKINDULGENCE - PEOPLE UNDER THE INFLUENCE T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. PROJECT Another celebration! April 30 is the Golden Anniversary of the date in 1952 when the first toy (Mr. Potato Head) was advertised on TV. Hasbro is the maker of Mr. Potato Head and many popular brands of games and toys -- Playskool, Tonka, Milton Bradley, among others. Hasbro supports children worldwide though philanthropic programs administered by Hasbro Charitable Trust and the Hasbro Children's Foundation. For fans of Mr. Potato Head: "How did Ronald McDonald celebrate his marriage to Wendy?" McDonald's first franchised restaurant opened on April 15, 1955, in Des Plaines, Illinois. Celebrate by reading about the good works of Ronald McDonald House Charities. For application guidelines, click on Grants From RMHC, in the left margin.
