Heiner's Sunny Buns
You know how when you're visiting a new place, and some normally unremarkable thing catchws your attention? Like a restaurant has a brand of Lemon Ginger tea you've never noticed at home, and it's really good tea. So you go to a grocery store and get a bunch and cram it in your suitcase and then back home you make yourself a cup of the remarkable tea and contentedly reminisce about the vacation. That happened to me in Oregon.Or you go to the one and only local liquor store and find out they don't know what tonic water is. That happened to us when we moved to WV.
Well, here's something that we have in WV that we didn't have "back home" and it's absolutely too delightful to keep to myself. I have to share it. There is a bread company called "Heiner's" which is a perfectly respectable German sounding name. Their delivery trucks proudly advertise "HEINER'S BUNS" which we think is hilarious. We can't eat hamburgers or hot dogs on store bought buns without giggling. We've been here 8 months or more so it's unlikely we'll outgrow our sophomoric reaction to this admirable marketing strategy.

I like "Heiner's Sunny Buns" a whole lot better than "Bimbo Bakery". See http://www.hillbillyplease.com/blog/?p=480#comments
Oh, I've seen Bimbo bakery products.
Yeah, that's pretty darn bad :)
Heiner's Bread!! We moved from WV to Richmond Va 18 years ago. It used to be, every trip back home we'd load up some Heiner's, along with other local favorites, to ward off the homesickness.
I just found your blog and have been catching up. Not sure how to make my name show up as other than anonymous, so sign me
