Is tren Spanglish for a train or the other way around? 

I’m attaching what appears to be an example of a Spanglish 
picture writing neologism. It’s apparently since 1940 and in 
English language contexts that an airplane can stand for 
Geronimo, but on the other hand the presence of the bear 
suggests a trip to Madrid, with el oso y el madroño and 
Geronimo Bosco pictures with strawberries, since there’s 
also strawberry flavored Bosco, plus a mysterious “blue 
berry” flavor. Another source might be Sue Bee (honey). 

In case the picture doesn’t work on all computers, it’s a 
picture of a bottle of Bosco chocolate syrup, also 
visible at www.boscoworld.com.
