Tiger Bread.

Re: Tiger Bread

Thats looking likely, but back in the early 70's only huge multinationals could promote an item like that over here..it had to be made here as it could not be imported, but the big classic US sellers like Chevron petrol, Tootsie rolls, crackerjacks,etc, never made it here, so can't see how a completely forgotten (both here and in the US) loaf of bread could have??

*groan*

Surely It had to be sold both here and the US.

Re: Tiger Bread

Found yet another..again US. the badge has a makers mark of "Evans Baucom Inc", I assume this was the badge maker, as a search brings up nothing.
We are hot the Tiger's trail

Re: Tiger Bread

We've almost caught that Tiger

Re: Tiger Bread

Yay, hope they get back to you soon, the Logo, the colours, infact everything seems to be pointing in the right direction.

Re: Tiger Bread

Have just mailed the makers to see if they recall it, or have a picture of an old packet

Re: Tiger Bread

Apparently the tail was the tie/twist top.

Thats right!

Re: Tiger Bread

seems the US version was owned by FLOWERS FAMILY BAKERIES, INC.
but there is no mention of Tiger in their Brand history:cry:

Re: Tiger Bread

Well both mum and Karen seemed to describe it in the same way as yourself, I believe mum said she could remember the advert "grab a Tiger by the tail" Apparently the tail was the tie/twist top.

Re: Tiger Bread

As far as I recall.. long thin plastic bag with clear top, Tiger head logo on far left, red/orange/black slash across bottom of bag, striped top

Re: Tiger Bread

I have mailed the seller to see if he know anything
Seems odd, We know a few US brands in the UK, but not many in the early 70's. Surely an item sold both here and there would still be remembered, but most people don't have a clue when I ask them about it.

Re: Tiger Bread

But it's the same Logo you remember? Was Tiger the makers name? Damn!!

Re: Tiger Bread

Something not quite right about this..the only other mention I could find was on another UK website for Celtic fans, so I assume it was available country wide..
but I found another two badges identical but again..an American seller, among other American badges

I think the badge we are looking at was for the US version of Tiger bread

Re: Tiger Bread

all we need now is the packaging.

We'll find it!!
