What Ever Happened to Wonder Bread?

It’s a little known fact, but yes, Wal-Mart bought out Wonder Bread, and now the iconic loaf with a lot of air and a little flour, along with Twinkies, Ho Ho’s and Ding Dongs, are all made in China.  As urban legend can attest, shelf life has never been a problem . . .
