Gansito

Gansito is also available in the U.S., Colombia, Peru, and many countries in Latin America, as well as having a limited presence in Europe.

At first, it only cost consumers 80 cents, and by 1975 Marinela was selling 1 million Gansito cakes a day.

[4] The snack cake soon became a beloved product and an all-time favorite in Mexico as Grupo Bimbo expanded through the country and created routes to even the most distant villages.

[4] The popular Gansito mascot that became a trademark of Marinela and decorates the snack cakes' packaging was designed by Alfonso Velasco, who was one of Bimbo's founders.

The dessert was first delivered by bicycles and then by unique, three-wheeled motor vans in Mexico called "ganseras."
