Bunanza: The Ultimate in Serving Containers

Revolutionary indeed! Bunanza was a never-before-seen foodservice product, launched in 1964. It was an edible bread cup, meant to be eaten like an ice cream cone. Various hot and cold foods, from chili to spaghetti to salad, could be enjoyed from Bunanza. Unlike ice cream cones however, this product fell flat and was shortly abandoned.

Casa Gallardo

Casa Gallardo was a popular Mexican restaurant in the St. Louis area. In the 1970s, General Mills worked with its founder, Ramon Gallardo, to build it into one of the biggest Mexican chain restaurants in America. We said adios in the 1990s when we got out of the restaurant biz, but Casa Gallardo lived on for many years after.
