It may well have been capitalised - but MLoo fat fingered the entry. They began
in the mid 1920s and survived the depression - so they must have something
going for them. They may also be conglomerated into a larger organisation - so,
it's going to be hard to tell how wide their distribution is. I know that
seeing those big, squared off, bread trucks with that stupid looking rabbit on
the sides is fairly common in these parts.

It was Nanook - and he didn't say they were a subsidiary. Just that they had
the same ownership. Which may mean that Bunny owns Wonder. Or that some other
entity owns both. I'd certainly not suspect that Wonder bought another baker
whilst struggling with their bankruptcy woes. 
 
Who knows what they were thinking when they came up with the name nearly a
hundred years ago.

... We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and others 'dinner'?
