Tip Top Bread Trucks

I found enough images of Tip Top Bread trucks to justify a separate post on them.  Barely.   Or put another way – there was so much other Tip Top material and Tip Top Bread material I needed to spill over.

It would have been cheating, I think, to include trucks from the Australian Tip Top bread company.

Or even toy versions of Australian Tip Top Bread trucks.

Likewise, I don’t think that it would be proper to include a photo from what seems to be a different American Tip-Top bread, even if it seems to be a Philadelphia deal.

So let’s just stick with the Ward Baking Company Tip Top Bread trucks.

And cut-out cardboard Tip-Top trucks for kids:

My friend saw my tangent and raised my tangent.

Frank and Ernest

 

He handed me a book I know and love.  My number one favorite childrens author with a brilliant slang-based premise.  He then started pulling out truck songs from a collection that Gabby (who else?) gave him.

I did not want to be rude but I had to nip it in the bud.  No more truck driving albums.  Not that I don’t admire the collection and not that I don’t love the songs – I do – but, enough already.  Back to Tip Top trucks.  What does he think of them?
